Question
Q2:- Multi-evaporator system with single
compressor and individual expansion valves used
refrigerant 143a at two different temperatures
with a single compressor and a single condenser.
The low-temperature evaporator operates at -40
°C with saturated vapor at its exit and has a
refrigerating capacity of 5 tons. The higher-
temperature evaporator produces saturated vapor
at 4 bar at its exit and has a refrigerating capacity
of 3 tons. The compression with isentropic
efficiency 85% to the condenser pressure of 10
bar. The refrigerant leaves the condenser at 10 bar
with subcooled to a temperature of 10°C.
Draw the schematic diagram of the cycle and p-h
diagram then calculate:
a) The mass flow rate of refrigerant through each
evaporator.
b) The compressor power input, in kW.
c) The C.O.P.
d) The rate of heat transfer from the refrigerant
passing through the condenser, in kW.
e) The overall heat transfer coefficient of the
condenser is 430 W/m2.°C and a heat transfer
area of 16 m2. If cooling water at a flow rate of
3kg/s enters the condenser at a temperature of 25
°C, what is the out water temperature.
Take the specific heat of water as 4.18kJ/kg.C.
