The document contains two multi-part refrigeration problems involving calculations of refrigeration capacity, compressor power requirements, heat transfer rates, mass flow rates, and thermodynamic properties. Problem 1 involves a refrigeration plant using R-12 operating between an evaporator at 10°F and a condenser at 128 psia. Problem 2 involves an ideal R-12 system operating between a condenser at 130 psia/96°F and an evaporator at 44 psia/40°F, and calculates performance parameters.
