A gas refrigeration system utilizing air as the working fluid possesses a pressure ratio of 3. The air is directed into the compressor at 5°C. The high- pressure air is then cooled down to 40°C by rejecting heat to the ambient environment. The refrigerant exits the turbine at -85°C and subsequently absorbs heat from the cooling area prior to its entry into the regenerator. The mass flow rate of air is 0.45 kg/s. Given that the isentropic efficiencies are 82 percent for the compressor and 87 percent for the turbine, and using constant specific heats at ambient temperature, find: (a) The effectiveness of the regenerator. (b) The rate at which heat is extracted from the cooling area. (c) The Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the cycle.
