1. Define refrigeration and Ton of refrigeration (TR). Discussed various methods of
producing cooling.

2. Explain Thermodynamic, Chemical and Physical properties of an Ideal Refrigerant.

3. Give names of following refrigerants: 1. R12, R11, R-22, R-123, R-150, R-134a, R-600, R717

4. A dense air refrigerator operating on Bell-Coleman cycle works between 3 bar and 15 bar.
The temperature of air after the evaporator and after cooler is 5OC and 20 OC respectively.
The evaporator extracts 2000 kg/min of heat from the space to be cooled. Calculate (1)
amount of air required in the cycle per minute, (2) power required to run the system, (3)
COP and (4) mass flow rate of water per minute in cooler if rise in temperature of water is
20 OC. Assume isentropic compression and expansion, Cp=1.008kJ/kg K, γ=1.4 for air and for
water Cp=4.18 kJ/kg K.

5. The speed of an air craft flying at an altitude of 8000m, where the ambient air is at
0.341 bar pressure and 263K temperature is 900km/h. The compression ratio of the air
compressor is 5. The cabin pressure is 1.01325 bar and the temperature is 270C. For
1kg/s flow of air, determine following
i) Power requirement for pressurization excluding ram work
ii) Refrigerating effect
iii) power required for refrigeration excluding ram work
6. A simple air cooled system is used for an airplane having 10 TR of air conditioning
system. The atmospheric pressure is 0.9 bar and temperature is 10⁰C. Pressure is increased
to 1.013 bar due to ramming. Air is further compressed up to 3.5 bar in compressor. The
temperature of air is reduced by 50⁰C while passing through heat exchanger. The aircraft is
maintained at 1.01 bar and 25⁰C. Calculate power required to take load of air conditioning
system and COP of the system. Assume isentropic compression and expansion process.
7. Calculate power required to compress 20kg/min of Ammonia from saturated vapour at
1.4 bar to a condenser pressure of 10 bar by two stage compression with intercooling at
4 bar. Compare the power requirement with single stage compression without
intercooling.

8. A R22 vapour compression refrigeration system operates between -100C and 450C. The
refrigerant is subcooled by 50C before entering the expansion valve and vapour is
superheated by 50C before entering the compressor. By using Pressure-enthalpy chart,
Calculate (i) Refrigeration effect per kg.(ii) Mass flow rate of refrigerant for 5 TR
capacity and(iii) COP of the system.
9. A refrigeration machine is required to produce ice at 00C from water at 200C. The
machine has a condenser temperature of 250C while evaporator temperature is -50C. The
relative efficiency of the machine is 50% and 6 kg of Freon-12 is circulated through the
system per minute. The refrigerant enters in the compressor with dryness fraction of 0.6.
Calculate the amount of ice produced in 24 hrs. Take latent heat of ice 335 kJ/kg.

25 59.7 138 0.2232
-5 31.4 154 0.1251

10. A food storage requires a refrigeration capacity of 12 TR and works between the
evaporative temperature of -8OC and condensing temperature of 30OC. The refrigerant R-
12 is sub cooled by 5OC before entering expansion device and vapour is superheated to -
2OC before leaving to evaporator coil. (1) Draw p-h diagram for the process and find
out (2) C.O.P. (3) power required in kW/TR.

30 7.451 64.59 199.62 0.24 0.6853

Take specific heat of liquid R-12 as 1.235 kJ/kg K and vapour R-12 as 0.733 kJ/kg K
