A single compressor using ammonia as refrigerant has three evaporators of capacity 30 TR, 20 TR and 10 TR. The temperature in the three evaporators is to be maintained at -10°C, 5°C and 10°C, respectively. The system is provided with individual expansion valve and back pressure valves. The condenser temperature is 40°C. Assume isentropic compression: a. Draw the P-h diagram. b. What is the mass of refrigerant flowing through each evaporator? c. What is the power required to drive the compressor? d. What is the COP of the system?
