This document contains questions for an exam on refrigeration and air conditioning systems. It includes multiple choice and numerical problems related to refrigeration cycles, refrigerants, psychrometrics, duct design, cooling towers, and ice plants. Specifically: 1) It asks students to calculate COP and temperatures for reversed Carnot and Brayton refrigeration cycles operating between given temperatures and pressures. 2) Students are asked to explain cascade and multistage refrigeration systems, and to analyze a two-stage vapor compression system operating between given pressures and temperatures. 3) Problems involve analyzing mixing of aqua ammonia streams and calculating properties like temperature, concentration and enthalpy after mixing and heat addition.

Time: 2hr Max. Marks: 100
Note: Use of RAC data book

Q1. Attempt any two: (10*2=20)

Q1 (a). A refrigeration system is working on reversed Carnot cycle between higher and lower
temperature of 40 oC respectively. Determine its C.O.P. It is desired to increase the C.O.P. of the
cycle to 4.75 by changing the temperature of the cycle. If the increase (or decrease) in higher
temperature is equal to the decrease (or increase) in lower temperature, calculate the new
temperature of the cycle.

Q1(b). A refrigeration system working on Reversed Brayton cycle operates between 1 bar and 5 bar.
The temperatures at the inlet to the compressor and expander are 30 oC and 40 oC respectively.
Isentropic efficiency for the compressor is 0.8 and the same for the expansion is 0.9. If the capacity
of the system is 5 Tons of refrigeration, determine:

(i) Mass flow rate of refrigerant (air)


(ii) Power input to the compressor.

Take: ϒ=1.4 and Cp=1.004 KJ/KG K

Q1(c). Enumerate the classification of Air refrigeration systems and differentiate between a simple
aircraft refrigeration system and a Boot strap refrigeration system. What do you understand by
DART?

Q2. Attempt any two: (10*2=20)

Q2(a). Using schematic and P-h diagram, explain the working of Cascade refrigeration system.

Q2(b). The condenser and evaporator temperatures of a 20T capacity, simple saturated vapour
compression refrigeration system are 40 oC and -20 oC resp. The refrigerant used in the system is R-
22. Draw the cycle on P-H diagram (assuming isentropic compression) and calculate (i) the mass of
refrigerant to be circulated (ii) Power required in the compressor and (iii) the C.O.P. of the cycle. “If

vapour. What will be the new C.O.P. of the cycle? Whether it will increase or decrease.

Q2(c). A 100 TR system using R-12 is to operate on a two stage vapour compression refrigeration
system with a flash chamber. The refrigerant is evaporating at -40 C (0.641n bar), flash chamber
works on an intermediate temperature of 0 oC (7.45 bar). Low pressure operate between 0.641 bar
and 3.08 bar, and the high pressure compressor and expansion valve operate between 3.08 bar and
7.45 bar. Sturated vapour enters both the compressors and saturated liquid enters each expansion
valves. Determine: (i) the flow rate of refrigerant handled by each compressor. (ii) the power
requirement of compressors. (iii) C.O.P. of the system.

Use superheated properties of R-12 and saturated properties of R-12

factor for the cooling is 0.25 and the room sensible heat factor (RSHF) is 0.8. Air flow rate (total)
