The refrigeration system of a large commercial complex operates in a multi-pressure system in which a single compressor supports two evaporators. The low temperature evaporator is at -40C and has a capacity of 250kW while the high temperature evaporator is at 5C and has a capacity of 200kW. Condenser is at 35C and the superheated ammonia leaves the compressor with an enthalpy of 1750kJ/kg. Calculate the amount of cooling water needed by the condenser in kg/s for a temperature rise of 15C. a. 7.1 b. 8.2 c. 9.3 d. 10.4
