In an air-refrigeration system working on reversed Brayton cycle, the temperature of air at entrance to compressor (pressure ratio = 4, efficiency = 0.8) is 275 K and the inlet pressure is 1 bar. The pressure in the cooler is 0.1 bar and in the cold chamber it is 0.08 bar. The temperature of air at turbine (efficiency = 0.85) inlet is 310 K. Estimate the pressure ratio for the turbine and the COP of the cycle.

In an air-refrigeration system working on reversed Brayton cycle, the temperature of air at entrance to compressor (pressure ratio = 4, efficiency = 0.8) is 275 K
and the inlet pressure is 1 bar. The pressure in the cooler is 0.1 bar and in the cold chamber it is 0.08 bar. The temperature of air at turbine (efficiency = 0.85)
inlet is 310 K. Estimate the pressure ratio for the turbine and the COP of the cycle.
