Chapter 11.10, Problem 77P
An ideal gas refrigeration system with two stages of compression with intercooling as shown in Fig. P11–80 operates with air entering the first compressor at 90 kPa and −24°C. Each compression stage has a pressure ratio of 3, and the two intercoolers can cool the air to 5°C. Calculate the coefficient of performance of this system and the rate at which air must be circulated through this system to service a 45,000 kJ/h cooling load. Use constant specific heats at room temperature.

A 540,000 kJ/h capacity refrigeration system using Refrigerant 22 and served by a single
compressor unit operates at an evaporator temperature of -23
oC and a condensing saturation
temperature 40oC. To get rid of the single compressor load, a modification is proposed to use two
stage of compression with refrigerant intercooling.
(a) Determine the power required in the original system.
(b) Determind the power required for the proposed modified system.
A vapor-compression refrigeration system circulates refrigerant 134a at a rate of 0.15 kg/s. The refrigerant enters the compressor at -10 degrees Celcius and 100 kPa, and exits the compressor at 800 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 76%. Pressure drop through the condenser and evaporator are negligible. The refrigerant exits the condenser at 30 degrees Celcius and 800 kPa. Ignoring the heat transfer between the compressor and its surroundings, determine:
The rate at which heat energy is removed from the refrigerated space in kW.
The coefficient of perfromance.

The R-410a leaves the evaporator at state 1 and is first compressed in a low-pressure compressor (W, Pc=-250 kW) to an intermediate pressure of 933.9 kPa before it is mixed with saturated vapor and then further compressed in a high-pressure compressor to 3000 kPa. Heat is then removed from the R-410a as it passes through the heat exchanger and exchanges heat with cooling water. The R-410a is then expanded in the throttling valve to the intermediate pressure and passed through a type of mixing chamber called a flash chamber where it is separated into a saturated vapor leaving at state 7 and a saturated liquid leaving at state 8. Finally, the liquid is expanded before entering the evaporator at state 9. Note that the mass flow rate of R-410a leaving the mixing chamber is mypC = 10 kg/s.
