Assume compression and expansion process to be isentropic. For air, Cp = 1 KJ/KgK, Cv =0.72 KJ/KgK, = 1.4. Q.4 Q.5 Explain Regenerative Air cooling system. The cockpit of a jet plane is to be cooled by a simple air refrigeration system. The data available is as follows: Cock-pit cooling load Speed of the plane Ambient air pressure Ambient air temperature Ram efficiency Pressure ratio in the main compressor Pressure drop in the heat exchanger Isentropic efficiencies of main compressor and cooling turbine Temperature of air entering the cooling turbine Pressure of the air leaving the cooling turbine Pressure in the cock pit If the cock pit is to be maintained at 25C find 1) 2) 3) 4) Stagnation temperature and pressure of air entering the main compressor Mass flow rate of air to cock pit Power required to drive the refrigerating system C.O.P. of the system Department Of Mechanical Engineering. = 20TR = 1000 Km/h = 0.35 bar = -15C = 90% =3 = 0.1 bar = 80% = 30C = 1.06 bar = 1 bar
Q.6
A boot-strap air refrigeration system of 20 TR capacity is used for an aeropplane flying at an altitude of 2000m. The ambient air pressure and temperature are 0.8 bar and 0C. The ram air pressure and temperature are 1.05 bar and 17C. The pressure of air after isentropic compression in the main compressor is 4 bar. The air is now cooled to 27C in another auxiliary heat exchanger and and then expanded isentropically upto the cabin pressure of 1.01 bar. If the air leaves the cabin at 25C and the efficiencies of main compressor and auxiliary compressor and the cooling turbine are 80%, 75 % and 80% respectively, Find 1) Power required to operate the system 2) C.O.P. of the system.
