A refrigerant 22 refrigeration system carries a load of 82 kW at an evaporator pressure of 354 kPa and a condenser pressure of 1460 kPa. The liquid refrigerant is subcooled by 4 degrees before entering the expansion valve and the vapor is superheated by 5 degrees before entering the compressor. The compressor operates at 28 r/s. The stroke-to-bore ratio of the twin-cylinder compressor is 1.20 and the actual volumetric efficiency is 82 per cent. Determine (a) mass flow rate of refrigerant, (b) mass flow rate of cooling water in the condenser for a 7-degree change in temperature, and (c) the bore and stroke.
