NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -30°C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°C at a rate of 0.28 kg/s and leaves at 26°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65°C and leaves at 42°C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60 kPa and -34°C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of 420 W from the surroundings. The heat exchanger loses no heat to the environment. 26°C 42°C Condenser Expansion valve Evaporator OL Water 18°C 1.2 MPa 65°C Oin W in Compressor 60 kPa -34°C Determine the COP of the refrigerator.

Consider a gas refrigeration system with air as the working fluid. The pressure ratio is 5.5. Air enters the compressor at 0 ◦C. The high-pressure air is cooled to 35 ◦C by rejecting heat to the surroundings. The refrigerant leaves the turbine at −95 ◦C and then it absorbs heat from the refrigerated space before entering the regenerator. The mass flow rate of air is 0.55 kg/s. Assuming isentropic efficiencies of 90% for both the compressor and the turbine, determine (a) the effectiveness of the regenerator, (b) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space, and (c) the COP of the cycle. Also, determine (d) the refrigeration load and the COP if this system operated on the simple gas refrigeration cycle. In this cycle, take the compressor and turbine inlet temperatures to be 0 and 35 ◦C, respectively, and use the same compressor and turbine efficiencies. Use constant specific heat for air at room temperature with cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K and k = 1.4

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 from the…
