Question
The air conditioner (a kind of vapour-compression refrigerator) in a 1500-cc car, which
works on a pseudo-ideal reversed Rankine cycle, uses R-134a, the isentropic rotary-com-
pressor of which consumes power at a rate of 1.5 kJ/s bringing the R-134a from 2.017 bar
to 12 bar by compression. The cold space is a heat exchanger (using a hamster wheel as a
blower) that cools atmospheric air from the outside temperature of 303 K down to 283 K
and blows it into the car. Assume the start of compression process is state point 1. The
refrigerant at evaporator exit is dry saturated vapour and saturated liquid at the condenser
exit. Draw the schematic and T-s diagrams for the cycle. (a) What is the mass flow rate of
the R-134a (mr.-134a )? (b) What is the low-temperature heat transfer rate? (c) How much
is the mass flow rate of air ( mair) at 283 K? For air, take cp = 1.004 kJ/(kg K).
