Refrigerators currently being manufactured in the United States are using______as their refrigerant.
Consider a real compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 0.82. This refrigeration cycle has a condenser which over cools a liquid to a temperature of 46.3°C and an evaporator temperature of −8.6°C. The mixture changes to a liquid at a temperature of 48.8°C. Determine the coefficient of performance of this refrigerator for the working fluids of R-12,R-134a,and R-410a.
A refrigeration cycle is executed with R-134a under the saturation dome between the pressure limits of 1.6 and 0.2 MPa. If the power consumption of the refrigerator is 3 kW, the maximum rate of heat removal from the cooled space of this refrigerator is (a) 0.45 kJ/s (b) 0.78 kJ/s (c) 3.0 kJ/s (d) 11.6 kJ/s (e) 14.6 kJ/s

A refrigerating system having a 2-Stage Compression with Flash gas removal and intercooling (without water intercooler) operates under pressure limits of 1200kPa and 30kPa and uses R22 as a refrigerant. If the heat to be rejected by the condenser is equal to 185kJ/s and the COP of the system is 327%, determine the following: a.Total work of Compression in kW b.

A heat pump with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep a space at 25°C by absorbing heat from geothermal water that enters the evaporator at 60°C at a rate of 0.065 kg/s and leaves at 40°C. Refrigerant enters the evaporator at 12°C with a quality of 15 percent and leaves at the same pressure as saturated vapor. If the compressor consumes 1.6 kW of power, determine the rate of heat supply.
What is the highest COP that a refrigerator operating between temperature levels TL and TH can have?
A heat pump is installed in a building to heat the space to a constant 22 ⁰C when the outdoor temperature is 15 ⁰C. The heating requirement at these conditions is 30 kW. The system uses R-410a as a refrigerant and operates according to an ideal vapor compression cycle as shown in the figures below. The saturation temperature of the refrigerant in the indoor coil is typically 20 ⁰C higher than the desired space temperature, and the saturation temperature of the refrigerant in the outdoor unit is typically 20 ⁰C lower than the outdoor temperature. (one of those coils is the condenser, the other is the evaporator) Determine the states at points 1 through 4.
Consider a refrigeration system using refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. If this refrigerator is to operate in an environment at 20°C, what is the minimum pressure to which the refrigerant should be compressed? Why?
A refrigerator uses R-134a as the working fluid and operates on an ideal vapor compression cycle between 0.14 MPa and 0.8 MPa. If the mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 0.06 kg/s, determine (a) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space, (b) the power input to the compressor, (c) the heat rejection rate in the condenser, and (d) the COP.
When a man returns to his well-sealed house on a summer day, he finds that the house is at 35°C. He turns on the air conditioner, which cools the entire house to 20°C in 30 min. If the COP of the air-conditioning system is 2.8, determine the power drawn by the air conditioner. Assume the entire mass within the house is equivalent to 800 kg of air for which cv = 0.72 kJ/kg·°C and cp = 1.0 kJ/kg·°C.
