Data for steady-state operation of a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with Refrigerant 22 as the working fluid are given in the table below. The states are numbered as in the figure below. The mass flow rate of refrigerant is 8.42 lb/min. Heat transfer from the compressor to its surroundings occurs at a rate of 3.5 Btu per lb of refrigerant passing through the compressor. The condenser is water-cooled, with water entering at 65°F and leaving at 80°F with negligible change in pressure. out

A vapor compression refrigeration system operates on the cycle shown below (from Smith, Van Ness, and Abbott text). The refrigerant is tetrafluoroethane (P-H diagram from Smith, Van Ness, and Abbott text on next page). Determine the circulation rate of the refrigerant (in kg/s), the heat transfer rate in the condenser (in kW), the actual power requirement from compressor (in kW), the overall coefficient of performance of the cycle, and the coefficient of performance of a Carnot refrigeration cycle operating between the same temperature levels. Use the following operating data: Evaporation T = -10°C; Condensation T = 26°C; Compressor Efficiency Factor = 0.8; Refrigeration rate = 500 kJ/s.
PART A ONLY ( USE IMAGE BELOW) In a standard ideal refrigeration cycle (Fig. 1), the refrigerant 134a enters adiabatically isolated expansion valve as a saturated liquid at a pressure P1 = 1 MPa and leaves the device at a pressure P2 = 100kPa. Then the refrigerant enters the evaporator, where it changes into the saturated vapor. Subsequently, the vapor is compressed in an isentropic compressor to the pressure 1MPa and condensed in the condenser back to the initial saturated-liquid state. PART A - Determine the heat qL absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator and the compressor work win (per 1 kg of the refrigerant).
