Assinmnet 2 Sample

This document contains 7 multi-part problems about vapor compression refrigeration cycles. It asks the reader to calculate values like coefficient of performance, work of compression, refrigerating effect, heat rejected, percent savings from an expansion engine, and refrigeration capacities for systems with and without a liquid-to-suction heat exchanger. It provides temperature and flow rate values, asks the reader to sketch cycles, and compare performance of different cycles and components. The problems cover a range of concepts involving Carnot cycles, pressure-enthalpy diagrams, component sizing, and efficiency analysis.

EXERCISE PROBLEMS
10-1. A Carnot refrigeration cycle absorbs heat at -12 C and rejects it at 40 C.

(a) Calculate the coefficient of performance of this refrigeration cycle.

(b) If the cycle is absorbing 15 kW at the -12 C temperature, how much power is required?

(c) If a Carnot heat pump operates between the same temperatures as the above refrigeration cycle, what is the
performance factor?

(d) What is the rate of heat rejection at the 40 C temperature if the heat pump absorbs 15 kW at the - 12 C
temperature?

condensing temperature is 30 C, sketch the cycle on pressure-enthalpy coordinates and calculate

(a) the work of compression,

(b) the refrigerating effect, and

(c) the heat rejected in the condenser, all in kilojoules per kilograms , and

10-3. A refrigeration system using refrigerant 22 is to have a refrigerating capacity of 80 kw. The cycle is a standard
vapor-compression cycle in which the evaporating temperature is -8 C and the condensing temperature is 42 C.

(a) Determine the volume flow of refrigerant measured in cubic meter per second at the inlet to the compressor.

(b) Calculate the power required by the compressor.

(c) At the entrance to the evaporator what is the fraction of vapor in the mixture expressed both on a mass basis and

10-4. Compare the coefficient of performance of a refrigeration cycle which uses wet compression with that of one
which uses dry compression. In both cases use ammonia as the refrigerant, a condensing temperature of 30 C, and
an evaporating temperature of -20 C; assume that the compressors are isentropic and that the liquid leaving the
condenser is saturated. In the wet-compression cycle the refrigerant enters the compressor in such a condition that it
is saturated vapor upon leaving the compressor.

10-5. In the vapor-compression cycle a throttling device is used almost universally to reduce the pressure of the
liquid refrigerant.

(a) Determine the percent saving in net work of the cycle per kilograms of refrigerant if an expansion engine would
be used to expand saturated liquid refrigerant 22 isentropically from 35 C to the evaporator temperature of 0 C.
Assume that compression is isentropic from saturated vapor at 0 C to a condenser pressure corresponding yo 35 C.

10-6. Since a refrigeration system operates more efficiently when the condensing temperature is low, evaluate the
possibility of cooling the condenser cooling water of the refrigeration system in question with another refrigeration
system. Will the compressor performance of the two systems be better, the same, or worse than one individual
system? Explain why.

10-7. A refrigerant 22 vapor compression system includes a liquid-to-suction heat exchanger in the system. The heat
exchanger warms saturated vapor coming from the evaporator from -10 to 5 C with liquid which comes from the
condenser at 30 C. The compressions are isentropic in both cases listed below.

(a) Calculate the coefficient of performance of the system without the heat exchanger but with the condensing
temperature at 30 C and an evaporating temperature of -10 C.

(b) Calculate the coefficient of performance of the system with the heat exchanger?

(c) If the compressor is capable of pumping 12.0 L/s measured at the compressor suction, what is the CHAPTER 10 -
THE VAPOR-COMPRESSION CYCLE Page 9 of 10 refrigeration capacity of the system without the heat exchanger?

(d) With the same compressor capacity as in (c), what is the refrigerating capacity of the system with the heat
exchanger?
