Subject: Refrigeration and Air Conditioning


Section: 7

1. A simple air refrigeration system is used for an aircraft to take a load of 20 TR. The
ambient pressure and temperature are 0.9 bar and 22℃ respectively. The
pressure of air is increased to 1 bar due to isentropic ramming action. The air is
further compressed in a compressor to 3.5 bar and then cooled in a heat exchanger
to 72℃. Finally, the air is passed through the cooling turbine and then it is supplied
to the cabin at a pressure of 1.03 bar. The air leaves the cabin at a temperature of
25℃. Assuming the isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and turbine as 80%
and 75% respectively, find:
(a) Power required to take the load in the cooling cabin.
(b) C.O.P of the system.
Take Cp =1.005 kJ/kg K; and 𝛾 = 1.4
2. A boot-strap air refrigeration system of 20 TR capacity is used for an aeroplane
flying at an altitude of 2000m. The ambient air pressure and temperature are 0.8
bar and 0℃. The ram air pressure and temperature are 1.05 bar and 17℃. The
pressure of air after isentropic compression in the main compressor is 4 bar. This
air is now cooled to 27℃ in an auxiliary heat exchanger and then expanded
isentropically upto the cabin pressure of 1.01 bar. If the air leaves the cabin at 25℃
and efficiencies for the main compressor, auxiliary compressor and the cooling
turbine are 80%, 75% and 80%respectively; find: (a) power required to operate
the system and (b) C.O.P of the system.
3. An ammonia refrigerating machine fitted with an expansion valve works between
the temperature limits -10℃ and 30℃. The vapour is 95%dry at the end of
isentropic compression and the fluid leaving the condenser is at 30℃. If the actual
coefficient performance is 60% of the theoretical, find the ice produced per kW
hour at 0℃ from water at 10℃. The latent heat of ice is 335kJ/kg. the ammonia
has the following properties:

Temperature, ℃ Unit: kJ/kg Entropy, kJ/kg K

-10 135.37 1297.68 0.5443 5.4770


4. A food storage chamber requires a refrigeration system of 12 TR capacity with an
evaporator temperature of -8℃ and condenser temperature of 30℃. The
refrigerant R-12 is subcooled by 5℃ before entering the throttle valve, and the
vapour is superheated by 6℃ before entering the compressor. If the liquid and
vapour specific heats are 1.235 and 0.733 kJ/ kg K respectively, find: (a)
refrigerating effect per kg; (b) mass of refrigerant circulated per minute; and (c)
coefficient of performance. The relevant properties of the refrigerant R-12 are
given below:

Temperature, ℃ Enthalpy, kJ/kg Entropy, kJ/kgK

26.7 307.18 1467.03 1.1515 5.0203

5. A vapour compression refrigeration system of 2400kJ/min capacity works at an


evaporator temperature of 263K and a condenser temperature of 303K. the
refrigerant used is R-12 and is subcooled by 6℃ before entering the expansion
valve and vapour is superheated by 7℃ before leaving the evaporator coil. The
compression of refrigerant is reversible adiabatic. The refrigeration compressor
is two cylinder, single acting with stroke equal to 1.25 times the bore and runs at
1000 r.p.m. Take liquid specific heat = 1.235kJ/kg K and vapour specific heat
=0.733 kJ/kg K. Determine: (a) refrigerating effect per kg; (b) mass of refrigerant
circulated per minute; (c) theoretical piston displacement per minute; (d) power
required to run the compressor; (e) heat removed in through condenser; and (f)
bore & stroke of the compressor.
The properties of R-12 are given below:
