7) For one chosen case of chilled water inlet temperature from Q4, determine the mass flow

rate (in kg/s) of the refrigerant and calculate the Coefficient of Performance for the chiller
system. Also assume the refrigerant exits the condenser as saturated liquid.

Choosen T inlet,
T = 15.22 ℃ at V = 4 m/s and Q = 4762.46 Watt

At state 1 in saturated vapor,

T Sg
14 0.92470
15.22 S1
16 0.92389

From property table R-134a and interpolation method,

15.22−14
S1 = 0.92470 + (0.92389-0.92470)
16−14
= 0.92421 kJ/kg.

T hg

15.22−14
h1 = 258.37 +
16−14
(259.46-258.37)
= 259.03 kJ/kg
At state 2 in superheated and S1=S2 due to the isentropic compression,
P2 = 800 kPa
Sg hg
0.9183 267.29
0.92421 h2s
0.9480 276.45

0.92421−0.9183
h2s = 267.29 + (276.45-267.29)
0.9480−0.9183
= 269.11 kJ/kg
When isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 88%,
h 2 s−h 1
ŋ=
h 2−h1
269.11−259.03
0.88 =
h 2−259.03
h2 = 270.48 kJ/kg

At state 3 saturated liquid and P3 = 800 kPa,

h3 = hf = 95.47 kJ/kg

At state 4 h4 = h3 due to throttling device,

h4 = 95.47 kJ/kg

Given equation for mass flow rate,

QH = ṁ (h2-h3)
4762.46 = ṁ (270.48- 95.47)
ṁ = 0.0272 kg/s
Then for COP the formula given,

0.0272 (259.03-95.47) = 4.449 kW 0.0272(270.48-259.03) = 0.311 kW

4.449 kW
COP = = 14.31
0.311 kW
