5. A refrigerator with tetrafluoroethane as refrigerant operates with an evaporation
temperature of 247.15 K (-26°C) and a condensation temperature of 300.15 K
(27°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 5.275 kW, 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?
(c) Suppose the cycle of (a) is modified by the inclusion of a countercurrent heat
exchanger between the condenser and the throttle valve in which heat is transferred
to vapor returning from the evaporator. If liquid from the condenser enters the
exchanger at 300.15 K (27°C) and if vapor from the evaporator enters the
exchanger at 247.15 K (-26°C) and leaves at 294.15 K (21°C), what is the
circulation rate of the refrigerant?
Explain the heat transferred from a furnace (Q) to convert the boiler feed water at 25 ° C into superheated steam at 17 bar and 250 ° C.
2. The capacities of refrigeration units are commonly given in "tons", which corresponds to
how many tons of ice the unit can make in 24 hours. Assume we have a 3-ton unit (this is a
standard size for a residential heat pump). We can calculate how many kW of cooling
capacity this corresponds to:
The latent heat of fusion of water is 334 kJ/kg.
● 3-tons = 6000 lb = 2730 kg
(2730 kg)(334 kJ/kg) = 911,800 kJ/24 hours = 10.55 kW of cooling.
●
Assume you have a Carnot refrigerator that has the cooling capacity noted above and
operates between ambient at 20°C and a cold space at 0°C. Find the amount of electric
power that is required by the refrigerator (kW). Find the cost of the electricity needed to run
this system for one day, using the current Seattle City Light rate of $0.13/kW-hr. Also find
COPR.
