A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -30°C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°C at a rate of 0.29 kg/s and leaves at 26°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65°C and leaves at 42°C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60 kPa and -34°C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of 430 W from the surroundings. The heat exchanger loses no heat to the environment.

A vapor-compression cycle is used as a refrigerator to extract 8 kW of heat from a cold space at 0°C and rejects heat into a space at 25°C. R-134a enters the compressor at 140 kPa superheated by 4°C above the saturation temperature and leaves at 900 kPa. It exits the condensor as a saturated liquid. Assume that pressure losses are negligible and that the compressor is isentropic. Report your answers to four significant digits using rounding. QUESTION 1 Report the maximum possible COP. QUESTION 3 Report the power required by the compressor. QUESTION 2 Report the mass flow rate in kg/s. QUESTION 4 Report the COP for the cycle.
A gas refrigeration system utilizing air as the working fluid possesses a pressure ratio of 3. The air is directed into the compressor at 5°C. The high- pressure air is then cooled down to 40°C by rejecting heat to the ambient environment. The refrigerant exits the turbine at -85°C and subsequently absorbs heat from the cooling area prior to its entry into the regenerator. The mass flow rate of air is 0.45 kg/s. Given that the isentropic efficiencies are 82 percent for the compressor and 87 percent for the turbine, and using constant specific heats at ambient temperature, find: (a) The effectiveness of the regenerator. (b) The rate at which heat is extracted from the cooling area. (c) The Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the cycle.
