A vapour compression refrigeration system using refrigerant F-12 is employed to produce 8640 kg of ice per day. The condensing and evaporating temperature of refrigerant are 48°C and -20°C respectively. Saturated liquid leaves the condenser and saturated vapour leaves the evaporator. Compression is isentropic, water at 35°C is used to form the ice. The temperature of ice should be-8°C. Heat flow into the brine tank from surroundings may be taken as 10% of total heat absorbed from water to form ice. Determine the power required to drive the compressor. Take specific heat of ice = 2.26 kJ/kg-K. Latent heat of ice = 335 kJ/kg. Specific heat of water = 4.2 kJ/kg-K.

As the refrigerant as shown in the figure, R134a fluid is used in a commercial refrigerator. The refrigerant leaves the evaporator at a temperature of -33.5°C (239.65 K) and a pressure of 60 kPa. It is then compressed to a pressure of 1.2 MPa and a temperature of 64°C (337.15 K). In the water-cooled condenser, the refrigerant is cooled to 41°C (314.15 K). Water enters the condenser at 18°C and leaves at 26°C. In this context; *Calculate the degree of dryness (quality) of the refrigerant at the evaporator inlet [%].
