Practice Problems Vapor Compression Cycle (Cengle book) 11-13 An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle that uses refrigerant-134a as its working fluid maintains a con- denser at $00 kPa and the evaporator at 12°C. Determine this system’s COP and the amount of power required to ser- vice a 150 KW cooling load. Answers: 4.87, 30.8 KW 11-21 A refrigerator uses refrigerant-I134a as the working fluid and operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigera- tion cycle except for the compression process. The refrigerant enters the evaporator at 120 kPa with a quality of 34 percent and leaves the compressor at 70°C. If the compressor con- sumes 450 W of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the reftigerant, (b) the condenser pressure, and (c) the COP of the refrigerator. Answers: (2) 0.00644 kg/s, (b) 800 KPa, (c) 2.03 ‘Sonntage Book Refrigeration Cycles 11.75 A refrigerator with R-134a as the working fluid has.a minimum temperature of —10°C anda max- imum pressure of 1 MPa. Assume an ideal refrig- eration cycle as in Fig. 11.21. Find the specific heat transfer from the cold space and that to the hot space, and determine the COP. 11.76 Repeat the previous problem with R-410a as the working fluid. Will that work in an ordinary kitchen? 11.77 Consider an ideal refrigerstion cycle thai has a condenser temperature of 45°C and an evapora- tor temperature of —15°C. Determine the COP of ‘this refrigerator for the working fluids R-134a and R-4lda. 11.78 The natural refrigerant carbon dioxide has a fairly Jow critical temperature. Find the high tempera- ture, the condensing temperature, and the COP if it is used in a standard cycle with high and low pressures of 6 and 3 MPa. 11.79 Do Problem 11.77 with ammonia as the working fluid. 11.88 Anair conditioner inthe sirportof Timbuktu runs 2 cooling system using R-410a with a high pres- sure of 1500 kPa and a low pressure of 200 kPa It should cool the desert air at 45°C down to 15°C. Find the cycle COP Will the system work? 11.86 A refrigerator in a meat warehouse must keep a low temperature of —15°C. It uses ammonia as the refrigerant, which must remove 5 kW from the cold space. Assume that the outside temper- ature is 20°C. Find the flow rate of the ammonia needed, assuming a standard vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with a condenser at 20°C. 11.89 The air conditioner in a car uses R-134a and the compressor power input is 1.5 kW, bringing the R-134a from 201.7 kPa to 1200 kPa by compres- sion. The cold space is a heat exchanger that cools 30°C atmospheric air from the outside down to 10°C and blows it into the car. What is the mass flow rate of the R-134a, and what is the low- temperature heat-transfer rate? What is the mass flow rate of air at 10°C?
