(a)
Figure 3 shows a refrigeration system using Refrigerant-134a as the refrigerant has a
compressor that consumes 800 W of power when operational. The refrigerant enters the
evaporator at 100 kPa as saturated mixture of quality 25% and leaves the condenser the same
pressure as at a temperature of -26°C.
Determine the rate of heat rejected (Q.) at the condenser and the COP of the refrigerator. The
mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 0.005 kg/s.

After graduation, you decided to work overseas to experience living in a country with four
seasons. Your neighbour, knowing that you are an engineer asked your help to install a heat
pump system for his house. He wanted to always maintain the temperature in his house at
24°C during winter. In that area during winters, average outside temperature is -3°C. He also
has an underground water well with average water temperature of 10°C during winter.
You estimated that…
A refrigeration system using R-22 has a capacity of 320 kW of refrigeration. The evaporating temperature is -10C and the condensing temperature is 40C.Calculate the fraction of vapor in the mixture before the evaporator.
An ammonia system with a 158-kW evaporator operating at -1°C and a 35-kW evaporator operatingat -40°C uses flash gas removal and intercooling. The condensing temperature is 32°C. Thearrangement is as shown. How many kilograms per minute of ammonia are compressed by the high-pressure compressor?
