The figure below shows a two-stage vapor-compression refrigeration system with ammonia as the working fluid. The system uses a direct-contact heat exchanger to achieve intercooling. The evaporator has a refrigerating capacity of 40 tons and produces -30°F saturated vapor at its exit. In the first compressor stage, the refrigerant is compressed adiabatically to 140 lbf/in.², which is the pressure in the direct contact heat exchanger. Saturated vapor at 140 lbf/in.² enters the second compressor stage and is compressed adiabatically to 250 lbf/in.² Each compressor stage has an isentropic efficiency of 85%. There are no significant pressure drops as the refrigerant passes through the heat exchangers. Saturated liquid enters each expansion valve.

A two-evaporatoor compression refrigeration system like that in the Figure below uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The system operates evaporator 1 at 30 psia, evaporator 2 at 10 psia, and the condeser at 180 psia. The cooling load for evaporator 1 is 9000 Btu/h and that for evaporator 2 is 24,000 Btu/h.

ai 10roh Consider a two-stage cascade refrigeration system operating between the pressure limits of 1.2 MPa and 200 kPa with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The refrigerant leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is throttled to a flash chamber operating at 0.32 MPa. Part of the refrigerant evaporates during this flashing process, and this vapor is mixed with the refrigerant leaving the low-pressure compressor. The mixture is then compressed to the condenser pressure by the high-pressure compressor. The liquid in the flash chamber is throttled to the evaporator pressure and cools the refrigerated space as it vaporizes in the evaporator. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the low-pressure compressor is 0.11 kg/s. Assuming the refrigerant leaves the evaporator as a saturated vapor and the isentropic efficiency is 85 percent for both compressors, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the high-pressure compressor, (b) the rate of heat removal…
