An air conditioning system is operating in an ambient of 45°C. The room temperature is maintained at 25°C. Determine the power consumption of the system per ton of refrigeration if it is, (a) air-cooled as in a window-type air conditioner; (b) water-cooled as in a central air conditioning plant. The cooling water from cooling tower is available at 30°C. Assume suitable operating temperatures. Actual COP of the system is only 50% of the COP of the reversible cycle.

The coefficient of performance (COP) for a vapor compression cycle chiller is 8.7. If the chiller can produce 58 tons of cooling. If the chiller operates for a total of 3568 hours annually, and the cost of electricity is $0.15 per kWh, how much does it cost to operate the chiller? Fill in the operating cost of the chiller in one year in $.
3.) When a gas surrounded by air is compressed or expands adiabatically, its temperature rises or decreased even though there is no heat input or dissipated to the gas. Where does the energy come from to raise or lower the temperature? 4.) Why must a room air conditioner be placed in a window rather than just set on the floor and plugged in? Why can a refrigerator be set on the floor and plugged in?
