A Single Stage Vapor Compression (SSVC) refrigeration system has a cooling capacity of 7.5 tons. The following are the actual conditions: discharge of the evaporator is at -30°C & 0.2 MPa, discharge of the condenser is at 30°C & 2.0 MPa, discharge of the compressor is at 130°C & 2.5 MPa. Determine the compressor efficiency.

Q1:- Multi-evaporator system with single compressor and individual
expansion valves system used refrigerant 143a at two different
temperatures with a single compressor and a single condenser. The low-
temperature evaporator operates at -20°C with saturated vapor at its exit
and has a refrigerating capacity of 4 tons. The higher-temperature
evaporator produces saturated vapor at 3 bar at its exit and has a
refrigerating capacity of 2.5 tons. The compression with isentropic
efficiency 85% to the condenser pressure of 10 bar. There are no
significant pressure drops in the flows through the condenser and the two
evaporators, and the refrigerant leaves the condenser as saturated liquid at
10 bar.
Draw the schematic diagram of the cycle and p-h diagram then calculate:
1) The mass flow rate of refrigerant through each evaporator.
2) The compressor power input, in kW.
3) The C.O.P.
4) The rate of heat transfer from the refrigerant passing through the
condenser, in kW.
5) Volumetric…
