Steam Jet Refrigeration: Answer

This document contains 5 problems related to steam jet refrigeration systems. Each problem provides temperature and flow rate information for various streams (warm water, make-up water, chilled water, vapor) and asks to calculate refrigerating capacity or vapor flow rate. The solutions show setting up and solving energy balance equations using enthalpy values at given temperatures to relate the streams and determine the requested values.

STEAM JET REFRIGERATION

There is a 5.0 m3/s of vapor leaving the evaporator of vacuum refrigeration system. The
warm water enters the evaporator at 20C and make up water enters the evaporator at
31C. the evaporator has a temperature of 5C. Determine the refrigerating capacity.

ANSWER:

31C
20C

5C

V = 5.0 m3/s
h1 = hf @ 5C = 20.98 kj/kg
h4 = hf @ 31C = 129.948 kj/kg
h3 = hg @ 5C = 2510.54 kj/kg
v = vg @ 5C = 147.118 m3/kg
Z = V/v = 5/147.118 = 0.0339 kg/s
Q = Z(h3 h4) = 0.0339(2510.54 129.948)
= 80.7020 KW

An evaporator is maintained at 10C. Warm water the evaporator at 15C while make-up
water enters at 25C. Suppose the system is a steam jet refrigeration system having 35
tons capacity. Find the volume of vapor leaving the evaporator.

ANSWER:

10C
25C

15C

h3 = hg @ 10C = 2519.74 kj/kg


h4 = hf @ 25C = 104.87 kj/kg
v = vg @ 10C = 106.377 m3/kg
3.52 KW
Q = 35 tonsx
= 123.2 KW
1 Ton
Z = Q/(h3 h4) = 123.2/(2519.74 104.87)
= 0.0510 kg/s
V = Zxv = 0.0510 x 106.377
= 5.4252 m3/s

A steam jet refrigeration having an evaporator maintained at 5C with a make-up water at


25C. The chilled water has the same temperature as the evaporator and warm water
enters at 17C. Find the refrigerating effect if 0.93 kg/s of make-up water enters the
evaporator.

ANSWER:

5C
17C

25C,0.93kg/s

h1 = hf @ 5C = 20.98 kj/kg
h2 = hf @ 17C = 71.364 kj/kg
h3 = hg @ 5C = 2510.54 kj/kg
h4 = hf @ 25C = 104.87 kj/kg
Z = 0.93 kg/s
v = vf @ 25C = 0.0010014 m3/kg
Q = Z(h3 h4) = 0.93(2510.54 104.87)
= 22.3727 KW

There are removed 5.06 m3/s of vapor from the water evaporator of a vacuum
refrigeration system; the warm water enters the evaporator at 15 oC and chilled water
leaves at 11 oC; make-up water enters at 30oC. Determine the refrigerating capacity.

ANSWER:
v3 = vg@11oC = 100.6866 m3/kg
h3 = hg@11oC = 2521.574 kJ/kg
h4 = hf@30oC = 125.77 kJ/kg
z = V3 / v3
z = 5.06 / 100.6866
z = 0.050255 kg/s
Qa = z(h3 h4)
Qa = 0.050255 (2521.574 125.77)
Qa = 120.4 kW

In a steam jet refrigeration system, the evaporator is maintained at 5 oC. The chilled water
leaves at the same temperature and warms to 10 oC as it absorbs the load. Make-up water
is available at 25oC. For a capacity of 50 tons, determine (a) the quantity of chilled water
required, and (b) the volume of vapor removed. (a) Solving for quantity of chilled water
=m.

ANSWER:
for chilled water:
h1 = hf@5oC = 20.98 kJ/kg
for warm water:
h2 = hf@10oC = 41.99 kJ/kg
Qa = m (h2 h1)

50 (3.516) = m (41.99 - 20.98)


m = 8.367 kg/s
b.) Solving for the volume of vapor removed = V 3
for vapor:
h3 = hg@5oC = 2510.54 kJ/kg
v3 = vg@5oC = 147.118 m3/kg
for make-up water:
h4 = hf@25oC = 104.87 kJ/kg
z (h3 h4) = Qa
z (2510.54 104.87) = 50 (3.516)
z = 0.073077 kg/s
V3 = zv3 = 0.073077 (147.118) = 10.75 m3/s
