Question

A refrigerator with tetrafluoroethane as refrigerant operates with an evaporation temperature of −25°C and a condensation temperature of 26°C. Saturated liquid refrigerant from the condenser flows through an expansion valve into the evaporator, from which it emerges as saturated vapor.

(a) For a cooling rate of 5 kJ·s−1, what is the circulation rate of the refrigerant?

(b) By how much would the circulation rate be reduced if the throttle valve were replaced by a turbine in which the refrigerant expands isentropically?
