A two - stage ammonia compression refrigerating system with flash intercooling and flash gas removal has a mass flow rate of 0.20 kg/sec to the evaporator and has the following operating parameters: evaporating temperature of –30°C and a condensing pressure of 1000 kPa. Saturated refrigerant vapor exits the evaporator and enters the suction of the compressor at with a 10-degree superheat. The vapor leaving the flash tank is superheated by 10°C in the suction line to the second - stage compressor. Mechanical efficiency for both low – stage and high – stage compressors is

Instructions:

  • Demonstrates thorough understanding of the problem and precisely identifies and collects all
    significant data and requirements of the problem.
  • A realistic diagram/illustration of the physical system indicating relevant information in the figure.
  • Assumptions and approximations are sufficiently and clearly stated.
  • Selects an effective and efficient problem – solving strategy that will lead to a valid and accurate
    solution to the problem. Relevant physical laws and principles were identified. Realistic constraints were
    considered and well-defined before solutions are implemented.
  • Accurately implements the problem – solving strategy to achieve a valid and accurate solution. No
    errors are present.
  • Provides concise and insightful justification to the solution using appropriate data.
A two – stage ammonia compression refrigerating system with flash intercooling and flash gas
removal has a mass flow rate of 0.20 kg/sec to the evaporator and has the following operating
parameters: evaporating temperature of –30°C and a condensing pressure of 1000 kPa. Saturated
refrigerant vapor exits the evaporator and enters the suction of the compressor at with a 10-degree
superheat. The vapor leaving the flash tank is superheated by 10°C in the suction line to the second
- stage compressor. Mechanical efficiency for both low – stage and high – stage compressors is
85%.
