Example 3.13. A regenerative air cooling system is used for an air plane to take 20 tonnes of refrigeration load. The ambient air at pressure 0.8 bar and temperature 10°C is rammed isentropically till the pressure rises to 1.2 bar. The air bled off the main compressor at 4.5 bar is cooled by the ram air in the heat exchanger whose effectiveness is 60%. The air from the heat exchanger is further cooled to 60°C in the regenerative heat exchanger with a portion of the air bled after expansion in the cooling turbine. The cabin is to be maintained at a temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 1 bar. If the isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and turbine are 90% and 80% respectively, find :
