ME-103 Tutorial Problem: Refrigeration cycle

1. For a R-22 based refrigeration system, evaporator inlet temperature is –200C and condenser
temperature is 400C. Compression process is isentropic. For refrigeration capacity of 10 kW, find
discharge temperature, vapor quality and specific entropy at evaporator inlet, COP and power
requirement.[3

hg = 416 kJ/kg, sg = 1.698 kJ/kgK, cpg = 0.995 kJ/kgK]

2. A simple R-12 plant is to develop 5 Tons of refrigeration. The evaporator and condenser
temperature are to be -100C and 400C, respectively. Determine (i) COP of the cycle, (ii)flash gas
percentage after throttling, (iii) the refrigerant mass flow rate, (iv) power required to drive the
compressor, (v) heat rejection from the cycle, (vi) the ideal volume flow rate handle by the compressor
if volumetric efficiency is 90%. [3.912,0.305,0.1622kg/s,4.5kW,22.1kW,0.01381m3/s].

3. The air conditioner in a car uses R-134a as refrigerant which works on ideal vapour compression
refrigeration system with evaporator temperature of -100 C and condenser temperature of 450 C. The
compressor power input is 1.5kW. The evaporator cools down the atmosphere air from 300Cto 100C
and blows it into car. Determine (i) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (ii) the cooling capacity of
the unit and (iii) the mass flow rate of air.[0.0

• Redo the problem with an isentropic efficiency of 80% in the compressor.

4. For ideal vapour absorption cycle, refrigerated space temperature is 5oC and sink (ambient)
temperature is 30oC. What heat source temperature is needed to get maximum COP of 1.5.

5. For air refrigeration cycle, compressor inlet condition is 30oC and 1 bar, compressor outlet pressure
is 10 bar and turbine inlet temperature is same as compressor inlet. For 10 kW cooling capacity,
calculate mass flow rate, COP and volume flow rates of compressor and turbine exits.
