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
