A gas refrigeration system utilizing air as the working fluid possesses 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 ambien environment. The refrigerant exits the turbine at 85°C and subsequently absorbs heat from the cooling area prior to its entry into the regenerator. Th mass flow rate of air is 0.45 kg/s. Given that the iClostropic efficiencies are 82 percent for the compressor and 87 percent for the turbine, and using constan 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.

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 ambien
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 iClosetropic efficiencies are 82
percent for the compressor and 87 percent for the turbine, and using constan
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.
