Q2: (15 Marks)
A water-LiBr vapor absorption system incorporates a heat exchanger as shown in
the figure. The temperatures of the evaporator, the absorber, the condenser, and the
generator are 10°C, 25°C, 40°C, and 100°C respectively. The strong liquid leaving
the pump is heated to 50°C in the heat exchanger. The refrigerant flow rate through
the condenser is 0.12 kg/s. Calculate (i) the heat rejected in the absorber, and (ii) the
COP of the cycle.
