(8) A refrigerant 12 refrigeration system requires a load of 54 kW at an evaporator pressure of 270 kPa and a condenser pressure of 1009 kPa. The refrigerant is subcooled 10 degrees. before entering the expansion valve and vapor is superheated 14 degrees before entering the compressor. A twin-cylinder compressor with stroke equal to 1.25 times the bore is to be used at a speed of 27 r/s. The volumetric efficiency is 84 per cent. Determine (a) the quantity of cooling water in the condenser for an 11-degree increase in temperature, (b) the bore and stroke, and (c) the compressor power.
