Vapor Compression Cycle Sample Problem

The document describes two vapor-compression refrigeration cycles. The first cycle operates with refrigerant R134a at a mass flow rate of 5 kg/min between temperatures of -10°C and 28°C. The second cycle also uses R134a at 6 kg/min, entering the compressor at -10°C and 1.4 bar and exiting at 7 bar with an isentropic efficiency of 67%.

Work Activity:

1) An ideal vapor-compression refrigerant cycle operates at steady state with Refrigerant 134a
as the working fluid. Saturated vapor enters the compressor at -100C, and saturated liquid
leaves the condenser at 280C. The mass flow rate of refrigerant is 5 kg/min.
Determine:
(a) The compressor power, in kW
(b) The refrigerating capacity, in tons.
(c) The coefficient of performance.
2.) A vapor-compression refrigeration system circulates Refrigerant 134a at rate of 6 kg/min.
The refrigerant enters the compressor at -100C, 1.4 bar, and exits at 7 bar. The isentropic
compressor efficiency is 67%. There are no appreciable pressure drops as the refrigerant flows
through the condenser and evaporator. The refrigerant leaves the condenser at 7 bar, 240C.
ignoring heat transfer between the compressor and its surroundings, determine
(a) The coefficient of performance.
(b) The refrigerating capacity, in tons.
(c) The irreversibility rates of the compressor and expansion valve, each in kW
(d) The changes in specific flow availability of the refrigerant passing through the
evaporator and condenser, respectively, each in kJ/kg.
Let To = 21oC, po = 1 bar
