A vapor compression refrigeration system is designed to have a capacity of 100 tons of refrigeration. It produces chilled water from 23C to 2C. Its actual coefficient of performance is 5.96 and 35% of the power supplied to the compressor is lost in the form of friction and cylinder cooling losses. Determine the condenser cooling water required in kg/s for temperature rise of 10C.
