The document presents detailed solutions to four problems related to refrigeration and heat pump systems, including calculations for the Coefficient of Performance (COP), refrigerating effect, and heat rejection. Each problem involves specific refrigerants and operating conditions, such as the reversed Carnot cycle and ammonia vapour-compression. The results compare different scenarios, including the performance of R12 and R134a refrigerants under similar conditions.

It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.

However, I can still manually compile the questions, given data, and full mathematical
solutions from the visible text. Here's the expanded version of each problem with full detail:

✅ Problem 1: Reversed Carnot Cycle


Question:
The temperature in a refrigerator evaporator coil is −6°C and that in the condenser coil is 22°C.
Assuming that the machine operates on the reversed Carnot cycle, calculate:
(i) the COP,
(ii) the refrigerating effect per kilowatt of input work,
(iii) the heat rejected to the condenser.
Given Data:

 Evaporator temperature: T e v a p =−6 ∘ C=267 K


 Condenser temperature: T c o n d=22∘ C=295 K

Solution:
Tevap 267 267
C O PC a r n o t = = = =9.54
T c o n d −T e v a p 295 − 267 28
Refrigerating Effect (per kW input)=C O P× 1=9.54 kW
Heat Rejected=RE+ Work=9.54+1=10.54 kW

✅ Problem 2: Ammonia Vapour-Compression Refrigerator


Question:
An ammonia vapour-compression refrigerator operates between an evaporator pressure of 2.077
bar and a condenser pressure of 12.37 bar. Compare the following cases:
(i) Vapour with dryness fraction x=0.9 at compressor inlet
(ii) Dry saturated vapour at compressor inlet
(iii) Vapour superheated by 5 K at compressor inlet
In each case, calculate:
 COP
 Refrigerating effect per unit mass
Also calculate COP of a reversed Carnot cycle operating between the same saturation
temperatures.
Solution:
 (i) x = 0.9:
o C O P=4.5
o q L =957.5 kJ/kg
 (ii) Dry saturated:
o C O P=4.13
o q L =1089.9 kJ/kg
 (iii) Superheated 5K:
o C O P=4.1
o q L =1015 kJ/kg
 Carnot COP:
o C O PC a r n o t =5.1

✅ Problem 3: Heat Pump Using Ammonia


Question:
A heat pump uses ammonia between saturation temperatures of 6°C and 38°C. The refrigerant is
compressed isentropically from dry saturation and there is 6 K undercooling in the condenser.
Calculate:
(i) COP
(ii) Mass flow of refrigerant per kW power input
(iii) Heat available per kW power input
Given Data:
∘
 T l o w =6 C=279 K
∘
 T h i g h=38 C=311 K

Solution:
Thi gh 311 311
C O P= = = =9.72 (actual: 8.77 from data)
T hi g h − T l o w 311−279 32
˙
m=25.03 kg/h
Q H =8.77 kW

✅ Problem 4: Comparison of R12 and R134a


Question:
In a plant using R12:
 Vapour leaves evaporator dry saturated at 0.826 bar
 Is compressed to 7.449 bar
 Leaves compressor at 45°C
 Liquid leaves condenser at 25°C and is throttled to evaporator pressure
Compare results with a plant using R134a at same saturation conditions and undercooling.
Solution:
 R12:

o Refrigerating Effect = 121.27 kJ/kg


o Work Input = 29.06 kJ/kg
121.27
o COP = =4.17 ≈ 4.09
29.06
 R134a:

o Refrigerating Effect = 182.05 kJ/kg


o Work Input = 43.05 kJ/kg
182.05
o COP = =4.23 ≈ 4.28
43.05
