A simple air refrigeration system is used for an aircraft to take a load of 20 TR. The ambient pressure and temperature are 0.9 bar and 22 ∘C. The pressure of air is increased to 1 bar due to isentropic ramming action. The air is further compressed in a compressor to 3.5 bar and then cooled in a heat exchanger to 72 ∘C. Finally, the air is passed through the cooling turbine and then it is supplied to the cabin at a pressure of 1.03 bar. The air leaves the cabin at a temperature of 25 ∘C. Assuming isentropic process, find the COP and the power required in kW to take the load in the cooling cabin.
