As shown in the figure, Refrigerant 22 enters the compressor of an air conditioning unit operating at steady state at 40oF, 80 lbf/in2 and is compressed to 160oF, 200 lbf/in2. The refrigerant exiting the compressor enters a condenser where energy transfer to air as a separate stream occurs, and the refrigerant exits as a liquid at 200 lbf/in2, 90oF. Air enters the condenser at 70oF, 14.7 lbf/in2 with a volumetric flow rate of 1500 ft3/min and exits at 110oF. Neglect stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects, and assume ideal gas behavior for the air.

Question

As shown in the figure, Refrigerant 22 enters the compressor of an air conditioning unit operating at steady state at 40oF, 80 lbf/in2 and is compressed to 160oF, 200 lbf/in2. The refrigerant exiting the compressor enters a condenser where energy transfer to air as a separate stream occurs, and the refrigerant exits as a liquid at 200 lbf/in2, 90oF. Air enters the condenser at 70oF, 14.7 lbf/in2 with a volumetric flow rate of 1500 ft3/min and exits at 110oF. Neglect stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects, and assume ideal gas behavior for the air.
