Chapter 11.10, Problem 72P
An ideal gas refrigeration system operates with air as the working fluid. Air is at 100 kPa and 20°C before compression and 500 kPa and 30°C before expansion. The system is to provide 15 kW of cooling. Calculate the rate at which air is circulated in this system, as well as the rates of heat addition and rejection. Use constant specific heats at room temperature.
