5. A refrigerator with tetrafluoroethane as refrigerant operates with an evaporation temperature of 247.15 K (-26°C) and a condensation temperature of 300.15 K (27°C). Saturated liquid refrigerant from the condenser flows through an expansion valve into the evaporator, from which it emerges as saturated vapor. (a) For a cooling rate of 5.275 kW, what is the circulation rate of the refrigerant? (b) By how much would the circulation rate be reduced if the throttle valve were replaced by a turbine in which the refrigerant expands isentropically? (c) Suppose the cycle of (a) is modified by the inclusion of a countercurrent heat exchanger between the condenser and the throttle valve in which heat is transferred to vapor returning from the evaporator. If liquid from the condenser enters the exchanger at 300.15 K (27°C) and if vapor from the evaporator enters the exchanger at 247.15 K (-26°C) and leaves at 294.15 K (21°C), what is the circulation rate of the refrigerant?

A single-effect falling-film evaporator is used to concentrate orange juice from 14% to 45% solids. The evaporator utilizes a mechanical refrigeration cycle using ammonia as a refrigerant for heating and for condensing the vapors. The refrige-ration cycle is operated at a high-side pressure of 200 psia (1.379 MPa) and a low-side pressure of 50 psia (344.7 kPa). The evaporator is operated at a vapor temperature of 90oF (32.2oC). Feed enters at 70oF (21.1oC). The ratio of insoluble to soluble solids in the juice is 0.09, and the soluble solids consist of glucose and sucrose in 70:30 ratio.
