An ammonia refrigerating cycle operates at 350 kPa suction pressure and 1350 kPa condenser
pressure. Other data are the following:

refrigerating capacity 28 kW
compressor clearance 5%
compression efficiency 80%
mechanical efficiency 75%
actual volumetric efficiency 74%

Determine the following:

a. the clearance volumetric efficiency

b. the ideal and actual COP
c. mass flow rate of ammonia
d. brake work

2. An ammonia simple saturation cycle operates at 200 kPa suction pressure and 1 MPa condenser
pressure. For a load of 1700 kJ/min, determine the following:

a. the m3/hr of cooling water in the condenser if the water temperature is increased by 6 CO
b. the compressor work in HP
c. piston displacement in cc/min.

3. 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 OC and a
condensing temperature of 35OC. Compute:

a. the clearance volumetric efficiency is the clearance is 5%

b. the actual volumetric efficiency
c. the compression efficiency
