Q: The COP of vapor-compression refrigeration cycles improves when the refrigerant
The COP of vapor-compression refrigeration cycles improves when the refrigerant is subcooled before it enters the throttling valve. Can the refrigerant be subcooled indefinitely to maximize this effec...
See AnswerQ: A 10-kW cooling load is to be served by operating
A 10-kW cooling load is to be served by operating an ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with its evaporator at 400 kPa and its condenser at 800 kPa. Calculate the refrigerant mass flow rate a...
See AnswerQ: An ice-making machine operates on the ideal vapor-compression
An ice-making machine operates on the ideal vapor-compression cycle, using refrigerant-134a. The refrigerant enters the compressor as saturated vapor at 20 psia and leaves the condenser as saturated l...
See AnswerQ: An air conditioner using refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and
An air conditioner using refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and operating on the ideal vapor compression refrigeration cycle is to maintain a space at 22°C while operating its condenser at 1000 kPa...
See AnswerQ: An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle using refrigerant-134a as
An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle using refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to cool a brine solution to −5°C. This solution is pumped to various buildings for the purpose of air...
See AnswerQ: A refrigerator operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle and
A refrigerator operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle and uses refrigerant 134a as the working fluid. The condenser operates at 300 psia and the evaporator at 20°F. If an adiabati...
See AnswerQ: A refrigerator uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and operates
A refrigerator uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and operates on the ideal vapor compression refrigeration cycle except for the compression process. The refrigerant enters the evaporator at 1...
See AnswerQ: The temperature of a system drops by 45°F during a
The temperature of a system drops by 45°F during a cooling process. Express this drop in temperature in K, R, and °C.
See AnswerQ: Repeat Prob. 9–14 using constant specific heats at room
Repeat Prob. 9–14 using constant specific heats at room Temperature. Data from Prob. 9-14: An air-standard cycle with variable specific heats is executed in a closed system with 0.003 kg of air and c...
See AnswerQ: An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle that uses refrigerant-134a
An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle that uses refrigerant-134a as its working fluid maintains a condenser at 800 kPa and the evaporator at −20°C. Determine this...
