Compressor as the core part of a domestic air conditioner is using Refrigerant-134a as its working fluid. The refrigerant enters the compressor at 140 kPa and -13°C with the required power input of 120 kW, and it is compressed to the condenser pressure and temperature of 1000 kPa and 60°C respectively. Evaluate if the adiabatic compressor is able to deliver compressed air at a minimum rate of 5 kg/s. Justify your answer with relevant calculations.

Air is compressed in a two-stage , double-acting compressor which is electrically driven at 165 rpm. The low pressure cylinder (30.5 x 35.5-cm) receives 6.85 m3/min of air at 96.53 kPaa, 43.3°C, and the high pressure cylinder (20.3 x 35.5-cm) discharges the air at 717.06 kPa. Piston rods are 5.1 cm in diameter and the isothermal overall efficiency is 74%. Find (a) the volumetric efficiency, (b) the power of the driving motor.
A commercial airliner is flying at an altitude where the temperature and pressure of the air are -50°C and 26.5 kPa. An engine-driven compressor will take this air at T= -50°C, P₁ = 26.5 kPa and compress it to P₂ = P₂ = 85.0 kPa to pressurize the cabin. The air will be very hot when it exits the compressor, so a heat exchanger will be used to cool the air to T, = 20°C before it enters the cabin. Cold air at T₁ = -50°C will be used in the heat exchanger to cool the cabin air, and this air will exit the heat exchanger at T = 20°C (this air will be used to heat the cargo bay). The mass flow rate of the air delivered to the cabin is 0.80 kg/s and the compressor efficiency is 75%. Model the air as an ideal gas having constant specific heat, using 300 K values from Cengel's tables posted on Canvas. a) Find the actual temperature of the air exiting the compressor and the power input to the compressor (answers: 67.6°C and 94.5 kW). b) Find the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger and…
R134a enters the condenser of a residential heat pump at 850 kPa and 70°C at a rate of 0.020 kg/s and leaves at 750 kPa and 2°C. The refrigerant enters the compressor at 180 kPa and 8.0°C. Determine (a) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor (in %), (b) the rate of heat supplied to the heated room (in kW) and (c) the COP of the heat pump. Disregard any heat loss in the expansion valve and compressor as well as the change in potential and kinetic energy of the refrigerant in any part of the cycle.

Feedwater heaters are used to increase the efficiency of steam power plants. A particular heater is used to preheat 10 kg/s of boiler feed water from 20° C to 188° C at a pressure of 1200 kPa by mixing it with saturated steam bled from a turbine at 1200 kPa and 188° C. Although insulated, the heater loses heat at the rate of 50 j per gram of exiting mixture. What fraction of the exit stream is steam?
