Question
19. A two-stage cascade refrigeration system operates between the condenser pressure of 440 psia
and evaporator pressure of 120 psia with R-410a as the working fluid. Heat rejection from the
lower cycle to the upper cycle takes place in an adiabatic counter-flow heat exchanger at an
intermediate pressure. In both cycles, the refrigerant is a saturated liquid at the condenser exit
and a saturated vapor at the compressor inlet, and the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is
80% at the lower cycle and 85% at the upper cycle. If the mass flow rate of the refrigerant
through the lower cycle is 0.3 lb/s, determine:
ib/s
a. the mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the upper cycle
b. the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space
TR
c.
BTU/hr
the rate of heat removal from the refrigeration system
d. the actual total compressor power input,
Hp
e. the actual COP of this system
