Refrigerant-22 enters an evaporator at 200 kPa with a quality of 22 percent and a flow rate of 2.65 m³/h. R-22 leaves the evaporator at the same pressure superheated by 5°C. The refrigerant is evaporated by absorbing heat from air whose flow rate is 0.745 kg/s. The properties of R-22 at the inlet and exit of the condenser are h₁ 220.2 kJ/kg, V₁ = 1.005 kJ/kg °C. 0.0253 m³/kg, and h₂ 398.0 kJ/kg.

- The condenser of a room air conditioner is designedto reject heat at a rate of 15,000 kJ/h from refrigerant-134aas the refrigerant is condensed at a temperature of 408C. Air(cp 5 1005 J/kg?K) flows across the finned condenser coils,entering at 258C and leaving at 358C. If the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the refrigerant side is 150 W/m2?K,determine the heat transfer area on the refrigerant side.arrow_forwarda freon 12 vapour compression system operating at a condenser temperature of 40 degree centigrade and an evaporative temperature of 0 degree centigrade develops 15 tons of refrigeration. using P-H diagram for freon 12, determine, a. the discharge temperature and mass flow rate of the refrigerant circulated, b. the teoretical piston displacement of the condenser and piston displacement per ton of refrigerant c. the theoretical horsepower of the compressor and horsepower per ton of the refrigerant d. the heat rejected in the condenser, and e. the Carnot COP and actual COP of the cycle.arrow_forwardSteam passes steadliy through a turbine and condenser as shown in the figure below. After expanding through the turbine and producing 1000kW of power, the steam is at a pressure of 0.08 bar and a quality of 87.4%; it enters a shell-and-tube heat exchanger where the steam now condenses on the outside of tubes through which cooling water flows; this condensate continues to flow, finally exiting as saturated liquid at 0.08 bar. The mass flow rate of the condensing steam is 58kg/s, In order to condense the steam, cooling water enters the tubes at 15°C and flows as a separate stream to exit at 35°C with negligible change in pressure. Stray heat transfer is negligible as are kinetic and potential effects. Considering the steam inside the turbine as a system, is the system best described as open, closed or isolated? What is the mass flow rate of steam entering the turbine in kg/s? What is the enthalpy at the inlet of the turbine in k/kg? What is the mass flowrate of the cooling water in kg/s?…arrow_forward
