An ammonia-water absorption refrigeration cycle is used to keep a space at -5 C when the ambient temperature is 20 C. Pure ammonia enters the condenser at 20 bar and 60 C at a rate of 0.02 kg/s. Ammonia leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is expanded to 2 bar. Ammonia leaves the evaporator as a saturated vapor. Heat is supplied to the generator by geothermal liquid
An ammonia-water absorption refrigeration cycle is used to keep a space at -5 C when the ambient temperature is 20 C. Pure ammonia enters the condenser at 20 bar and 60 C at a rate of 0.02 kg/s. Ammonia leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is expanded to 2 bar. Ammonia leaves the evaporator as a saturated vapor. Heat is supplied to the generator by geothermal liquid water that enters at 100 C at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and leaves at 70 C. Determine (a) the cooling capacity (in TR) and (b) COP of the system. The enthalpies of ammonia at various states of the system are: condenser inlet h2 = 1510 kJ/kg, evaporator inlet h4 = 418 kJ/kg, evaporator exit h1 = 1420 kJ/kg. Take the specific heat of geothermal water to be 4.18 kJ/kg-K.
