Solve the following problems:

1. A simple saturated refrigerated cycle for R -12 system operates at an evaporating temperature
of -5℃ and a condensing temperature of 40℃ . Determine (a) the refrigerating effect per kg,
(b) the work per kg, (c) the heat rejected at the condenser per kg, (d) the COP. For a
refrigerating capacity of 1 kW, determine € the total heat at the condenser, (f) the work, and (g)
the volume flow rate.

2. A refrigeration system is to be used to cool 45,000 kg of water from 29 ℃ to 18℃ in 5 hours.

The refrigerant is ammonia and the operation conditions are 616 kPa evaporating pressure and
1737 kPa liquefaction pressure. Determine (a) the coefficient of performance, (b) the quantity of
cooling water in the condenser for an increase in temperature of 7 ℃ , (c) the compressor
power, and (d) the volume of flow rate entering the compressor. The specific heat of water is
4.187 kJ/kg ∙ ℃ .

3. An ammonia simple saturation cycle operates at 247.1 kPa suction pressure and 1169 kPa
condenser pressure. For a load of 1688 kJ/min, determine (a) the m³/h of cooling water in the
condenser if the water temperature is increased by 6 ℃ , (b) the compressor work, and (c) the
piston displacement if clearance is 5% .

4. A six-cylinder, 6.70 x 5.70-cm, refrigerant 22 compressor operating at 30 r/s indicate a

refrigerating capacity of 96.4 kW and a power requirement of 19.4 kW at an evaporating
temperature of 5℃ and a condensing temperature of 35℃ . Compute (a) the clearance
volumetric efficiency if the clearance volume is 5 per cent, (b) the actual volumetric efficiency,
and (c) the compression efficiency.

5. A four-cylinder refrigerant 12 compressor operates between evaporator and condenser

temperature of 4℃ n and 43℃ . It is to carry a load of 20 tons of refrigeration at 1200rpm. If the
average piston speed is 213 m/min and the actual volumetric efficiency is 80 per cent, what
should be the bore and stroke of the compressor?
