A 100 x 300 mm ammonia compressor with a compression efficiency of 82% operates with a suction pressure of 291.57 kPa and a condenser pressure of 1203.7 kPa at 30 rps. The refrigerant cools 100 kg/min of water from 250C to 20C and assuming 5% of the useful refrigerating effect is lost due to the process of cooling, give that, 

h2 = 1653 kJ/kg, h1 = 1450.22 kJ/kg, h3 = 346.614 kJ/kg,  v1 = 417.477 L/kg

determine:

a.) RE in tons of refrigeration 

b.) mass flow rate of ammonia

c.) actual work of compression kW

d.) find Brake work (kW) if mechanical eff is 90%

e.) Actual volumetric eff

f.) clearance volumetric eff if c=6%

A 100 x 300 mm ammonia compressor with a compression efficiency of 82% operates with a suction pressure of
291.57 kPa and a condenser pressure of 1203.7 kPa at 30 rps. The refrigerant cools 100 kg/min of water from
25°C to 2°C and assuming 5% of the useful refrigerating effect is lost due to the process of cooling, determine:
a) RE in tons of refrigeration h2 = 1653 kJ/kg, h1 = 1450.22 kJ/kg, h3 = 346.614 kJ/kg, v1 = 417.477 L/kg
b) mass flow rate of ammonia
c) actual work of compression kW
d) find Brake work (kW) if mechanical eff is 90%
e) Actual volumetric eff
f) clearance volumetric eff if c=6%
