Assume you purchase a new heat pump rated at 3 Refrigeration Tons [RT] and you estimate to use the heat pump for 13 hours per day [h/d] during the month of April (30 days), at a cost of $0.11 per kilowatt-hour [$/(kW h)]. What is the total cost, in dollars [$], to operate the heat pump in the month of April?
An engineer is proposing a refrigeration system. The refrigeration system is claimed to remove 595 Btu/min of heat from a space at 38 °F, reject the heat at 98 °F, and use 1.4 hp of power. Is this process possible?
50 btu of heat are added to a gas at a constant temperature of 600 F. How much of this heat is available with a refrigenerator temperature of 68 F?
Steam is supplied to a two-stage turbine at 48 bar and 400 °C. It expands in the firstturbine until it is just dry saturated, then it is re-heated to 400 °C and expandedthroughthe second-stage turbine. The condenser pressure is 0.04 bar. Determine the specific work output of the system to 3 d.p? what is the specific entalphy in kJ/kg for state 2?
You have a refrigerator in your garage. Does it perform differently in the summer than in the winter?Explain.
A compressor serves two evaporators, one providing 5 tons of cooling at -20 degree F and the other, 10 tons of cooling at 10F. The system is a vapor-compression refrigeration system using R-12 with the condenser pressure at 200 psia. Assume saturated conditions leaving the condenser and evaporators and isentropic compression. Determine (a) the refrigerant flow through each evaporator, (b) the R-12 state entering the compressor, and (c) the compressor power.
In a refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant gains heat in the evaporator and in thesuction line. In a certain refrigeration system, R-134a gains 67.8 Britishthermal units per pound (Btu/lb) in the evaporator. It then gains 2.5 Btu/lb inthe suction line. Find in Btu/lb the total heat gained by the R-134a.
A fluid enters an apparatus at 480 ft/s, initially the pressureof the fluid is 120 psia, the specific volume of 5ft3/lb andthe internal energy is 383 BTU/lb. The fluid leaves theapparatus at 25psia, specific volume of 18 ft3/lb, an exitvelocity of 1200 ft/s and internal energy of 120 BTU/lb. Theheat radiation loss is 10 BTU/lb. Determine work steadyflow, WSF
So my chosen refrigerant is R-32. I'm having trouble finding a good range of pressure and temperature that takes the isentropic efficiency into account. I was using the software,EES, as my source of property retrieval since I couldn't find properties of R-32 anywhere else.
