What is the theoretical minimum pressure possible in the condenser if it is being cooled byriver water at 15 degrees celcius? Can you please explain why?
Determine the degrees of subcooling at the exit of the condenser of a 2-ton air-conditioner system. The system operates on the ideal, vapor-compression refrigerationcycle with the following design parameters:
R-134a flow rate
0.05 kg/s
Evaporator Pressure
200 kPa
Condenser Pressure
1200 kPa
In a CO2 refrigerating plant, the specific enthalpy of the refrigerant as it leaves in the condenser is 135 kJ/kg and as it leaves the evaporator it is 320 kJ/kg. If the mass flow of the refrigerant is 5 kg/min, calculate the refrigerating effect per hour.
