Consider a gas refrigeration system with air as the working fluid. The pressure ratio is 5.5. Air enters the compressor at 0 ◦C. The high-pressure air is cooled to 35 ◦C by rejecting heat to the surroundings. The refrigerant leaves the turbine at −95 ◦C and then it absorbs heat from the refrigerated space before entering the regenerator. The mass flow rate of air is 0.55 kg/s. Assuming isentropic efficiencies of 90% for both the compressor and the turbine, determine (a) the effectiveness of the regenerator, (b) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space, and (c) the COP of the cycle.

An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid operates between pressure limits of 200 and 1600 kPa.

(b) The rate at which heat is extracted from the cooling area. (c) The Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the cycle.
