1) A vapor compression cycle using Ammonia as refrigerant operates at an evaporating
temperature of -5 deg. Centigrade and a condensing temperature of 35 deg. Centigrade. The
vapor Ammonia was superheated before entering the compressor suction to 10 °C with useful
cooling. Determine a) the Coefficient of Performance of the cycle. For 15 TOR determine b) the
power required by the compressor c) the heat rejected in the condenser d) volume flow rate at
the suction.
