    The document summarizes the calculations for a reversed Carnot refrigeration cycle operating between -30°C and 40°C using R-12 refrigerant. It determines: 1) The work of isentropic compression is 37.42 kJ/kg and work of isentropic expansion is 8.66 kJ/kg. 2) The refrigerating effect (heat absorbed) is 99.85 kJ/kg and heat rejected is 128.61 kJ/kg. 3) The COP of the ideal Carnot cycle is 3.47. For an actual refrigerator with a COP that is 75% of the Carnot COP, it calculates: 4) The

    Reversed Carnot Cycle
    Name: Alves, John Mark S.
    Student No. 20180148236
    Problem:

    (a) A Carnot refrigerator has a working temp of – 30 deg C and 40 deg C. If it operates
    with R 12 as a working substance, calculate the work of isentropic compression and that
    of isentropic expansion, refrigerating effect, heat rejected in kJ per kg of the refrigerant
    and COP of the cycle.

    (b) If the actual refrigerator operating on the same temp has COP of 0.75 of the
    maximum, (maximum COP is the COP of a reversed Carnot cycle) calculate the power
    consumption and heat rejected to the surroundings per ton of refrigeration.
