KENYATTA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY ; DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL AND MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING EMM 40% REFRIGERATION AND AIR CONDITIONING TUTORIAL ASSIGNMENT £ \. The temperature ia « refrigerator evaporator coil is ~6'C and condenser coil is 22°C. Assuming that the machine operates in a reversed camot cycle, calculate he COP, the refrigerating effect per kW of input work and the heat rejected by the condenser, An ammonia vapour compression refrigerator operates between an evaporator pressure of 2.077bar and a condenser pressure of 12.37bar. The following cycles are to be compared, in each case there is no undercooloing in the condenser and the isentropic compression may be assumed: + (a) vapour has a dryness fraction of 0.9 at entry to compressor (b) vapour is dry satuarated at entry to the compressor (©) vapour has 5K of supetheat at entry to the compressor. In each case calculate the COPr and the refrigerating effect per kg of refrigerant, What would be the COPr of a reversed camnot cycle operating between the saturation temperature, >. A refrigerant plant using reltigerant ~ 2, the vapour leaves the evaporator dry satuarated and is compressed adiabatically but not reversibly in a centrifugal compressor. The evaporator and the condenser pressure are 1.826bar and 7.449bar respectively, The femperature of the vapour leaving the compressor is 45°C: The liquid leaves the condenser at 25°C and is throtled to evaporator pressure. Calculate the effigerating effect, work done per ke of ettigerant and the COPr ofthe machine. What would be the COPr ifthe compression could be carried out reversibly and approximately adiabatically in a reciprocating compressor. ‘+ A vapour compression refrigerator runs between the limits ~15°C and 25°C. Using relrigerant- 12 as the working uid, the reftigerating effect 20kW. Calculate the COPr and the flow rate of refrigerant and condition of reirigerant after throttling, 5. The pressure in the evaporator of an ammonia reftigerator is 1.902bar and the condenset pressure is12.37 bar. Caleulate the ideal COPr and the refrigerating elfect when working between the following saturation temperature. Determine these values when the cyle is modified to: (a) dry saturated vapour delivered to condenser (b) dry saturated vapour delivered to. compressor (©) as in (b) above with ur Jer-cooling of 11K, Also calculate for each eycle the ammonia flow rate in ky/s. NB use refrigerant flowrate = 3575/RE
