With reference to the Vapour Compression Refrigeration Cycle which is used as the basis for the Refrigeration systems predominantly used in the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry. 1) Describe and explain the 'Theory of Operation' of the basic refrigeration cycle. (Your description should include the function of each component that is part of the cycle) 2) State and discuss at least 3 Applications where refrigeration systems are used.

The catalogue for a refrigerant 22, four-cylinder, hermetic compressor operating at 29 r/s. a condensing temperature of 40 °C and an evaporating temperature of -4 °C shows a refrigeration capacity of 96.4 kW. At this operating points the motor (whose efficiency is 90 percent) draws 28.9 kW. The bore of the cylinders is 87 mm and the piston stroke is 70 mm. The performance data are based on 8 °C of subcooling of the liquid leaving the condenser. Compute 3.1 the actual volumetric efficiency and 3.2 the compression efficiency.
3. When subcooling the liquid refrigerant:a. the refrigerating effect per unit mass increases. b. the mass rate of flow per unit capacity decreases. c. the volume flow rate per unit capacity decreases. d. the work of compression per unit mass remain the same. e. the COP increases. f. the theoretical power per unit capacity decreases. A simple saturated refrigeration cycle for R-12 system operates at an evaporating temperature of - 5oC and condensing temperature of 40oC. Show the effect from a to f if the liquid refrigerant is subcooled to 30 oC.
