Thermodynamics: A refrigeration unit using Refrigerant-134a is used to maintain a certain space at –15°C. The condenser rejects heat (?H) to cooling water that enters the condenser at 15°C at a rate of 0.2 kg/s and leaves at 35°C (all as saturated liquid water). The superheated refrigerant enters the condenser at 0.8 MPa and 40°C and leaves as a saturated liquid at the same temperature. If the compressor consumes 4.5 kW of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the refrigeration load (?̇L), (c) the COP.

A homeowner is trying to decide whether to heat with a furnace rated at 95% efficiency or by an electrically powered heat pump. She lives in a town where electricity is produced by a coal-fired power plant that claims to operate with 1st law efficiency that is 55% of the Carnot limit. The heat pump's CoP is advertised to be 40% of the Carnot limit. For what range of outside temperatures To would the 2nd law efficiency of the furnace be greater than that of the heat pump? Assume T+ = 400°C, T- = T= 40°C. %3D

Required information Refrigerant-134a enters the condenser of a steady-flow Carnot refrigerator as a saturated vapor at 65.0 psia, and it leaves with a quality of 0.05. The heat absorption from the refrigerated space takes place at a pressure of 30 psia. Determine the net work input. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The net work input is Btu/lbm.
Give me the correct answer (Strictly Don't Type ,Only handwritten)
A refrigeration system is to be designed to maintain the temperature in the range of -15°C to -5°C, while the outside temperature varies from 15°C to 25°C. The total thermal load on the storage unit is given as 20 kW. Obtain an initial design for the vapor compression refrigeration system shown below. For safe operation and other factors, such as additional energy transfer, design the system using a safety factor of 1.3 such that Q₁ = 26 kW. The compressor efficiency could range from 60 to 80 percent. This is to be completed individually. It would be highly unlikely for multiple students to select all the same design parameters in part (a). Expansion valve or capillary tube он Condenser Evaporator www. Compressor Work As part of the design, you should: a) Specify and justify the constraints (isentropic efficiency, condenser, and evaporator temperature) you chose. b) Show the cycle in relation to the two-phase region on a temperature-entropy (T-S) diagram.
