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 0.28 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 420 W from the surroundings. The heat exchanger loses no heat to the environment.

The two-stage compression refrigeration system shown below is used to remove heat from refrigerated space using R-410a as the coolant. 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. Neglect changes in kinetic and potential energy across all devices…

A heat pump using refrigerant-134a heats a house by using underground water at 8°C as the heat source. The house is losing heat at a rate of 60,000 kJ/h. The refrigerant enters the compressor at 280 kPa and 0°C, and it leaves at 1 MPa and 60°C. The refrigerant exits the condenser at 30°C. Investigate the effect of varying the compressor isentropic efficiency over the range [60 to 100 percent]. Plot the power input to the compressor and the electric power saved by using a heat pump rather than electric resistance heating as functions of compressor efficiency and discuss the results.
A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -35°C by rejecting waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°C at a rate of 0.35 kg/s and leaves at 26°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 50°C and leaves at the same pressure subcooled by 5°C. The compressor consumes 3.3 kW of power.

At 3 MPa, steam enters an industrial isentropic steam turbine, and 7% steam at 500 kPa is transferred to a heat exchanger to preheat the feed water through the turbine's second exit. At a pressure of 100 kPa and a temperature of 200°C, the residual steam passes to the condenser .figure (a) Calculate the turbine's power output in kW after stating the necessary assumptions. (b) Describe the conditions under which a turbine can operate in an isentropic state. Compare the power output of a real turbine with an isentropic turbine intuitively. (c) Due to irreversibility, the entropy of a real turbine process grows. To keep the entropy of the steam at a low value when it leaves the turbine, it is recommended that some heat be extracted from the steam via cold water circulation before it leaves the turbine. This will keep the entropy at a low value when the steam leaves the turbine, and thus the work output will increase. How do you rate this suggestion for boosting the turbine's efficiency?…

A refrigerator using fluid-134a as a work fluid is used to keep the cooling medium at -25 oC. The refrigerator releases the waste heat, which enters the condenser at 18 oC with a flow of 0.30 kg / s and from the condenser at 26 oC to the cooling water. The refrigerant enters the condensate at a pressure of 1.2 MPa and 50 oC, and leaves the condenser at 40 oC at the same pressure. Find a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, b) the power consumed by the compressor, c) the COP value, and d) the minimum power that the compressor will consume for the same cooling load.They watch the specific heat of water as ?? = 4.22 ?? / ???.

Energy Flux Malaysia has just launched a new type of house refrigerator system using R-134a as a working fluid. It is claimed that the refrigerator can maintain the temperature of the refrigerated space at -35°C by rejecting heat to the surrounding air that enters a well-insulated condenser at 17°C and leaves at 27°C. The refrigerant enters the well-insulated condenser at 1.2 MPa and 60°C at a rate of X kg/s and leaves at the same pressure at 44°C. In an effort to attract consumers, silence mode feature is introduced where noise generated from the compressor unit is significantly reduced. Due to this new feature, the refrigerator is believed to consume 50% more actual power input when operated at Y kW. As an intern hired by the manufacturer, you have been tasked to perform the followings: a. Illustrate the above cycle with appropriate labels. Based on the information in TABLE Q1, calculate the mass flowrate of the surrounding air entering the heat exchanger in kg/s and determine the…
