Question

An ammonia refrigeration compressor takes its suction from the evaporator at a temperature of -20oF (-28.9oC) and a quality of 95%. The compressor discharges at a pressure of 100 psi (689.5 kPa), liquid ammonia leaves condenser at 50oF (10oC).

Properties of Ammonia:

  At 689.6 kPa (Tsat = 13.3oC)

     h = 1,568 kJ/kg; s = 5.7676 kJ/kg.K

  At 10oC:

     hf = 246.531 kJ/kg

  At -28.9oC by interpolation

     hf = 68.5 kJ/kg; hg = 1424.5 kJ/kg

            sf = 0.49366; sg = 6.0452

Find the COP.
