?????

1. (a) Derive an expression for COP of a Bell-Coleman cycle plotting the same on a P-V diagram. [6]
(b) A Bell-coleman refrigeration cycle works between 1 bar and 6 bar. The adiabatic efficiency of
compression is 90% and expansion is 95%. Find the COP of the system and its tonnage when
the air flow rate is 2 kg/sec. The ambient temperature is 25o C and refrigerator temperature is
-5o C. [10]
2. (a) Describe the use of liquid vapour regenerative heat exchanger in a vapour compression system [6]
(b) A simple saturation ammonia compression system has a high pressure of 1.35 MN/m2 and low
pressure of 0.19 MN/m2 . Find per 400,000kJ/h of refrigerating capacity the power consumption
of the compressor and COP of the cycle.
[10]
3. (a) Explain the working of a rotary screw compressor. [10]
(b) How the capacity control is achieved in refrigerant compressor? [6]
4. (a) What are the advantages of evaporative condensers over water cooled condensers. [6]
(b) Describe the working of any two types of water cooled condensers. [10]
5. (a) Derive the expression for COP of absorption system. [6]
(b) What is the effect of inert gas in three fluid refrigeration system. [4]
(c) Explain how the pressure and temp of refrigerant is increased in vapour absorption system. [6]
6. (a) What is thermo electric refrigerator. [4]
(b) Explain the principle of steam jet refrigeration system. [6]
(c) What is the function of a condenser in a steam Jet refrigeration system? Explain its working. [6]
7. (a) The following data refer to an air condition system for an industrial process for hot and wet
summer conditions.
Outdoor condition 31o C DBT and 70% RH
Required condition 22o C DBT and 65% RH
Amount of outdoor air supplied 200m3 /min
Coil DPT 11o C
If the required condition is achieved by first cooling and dehumidifying and then by heating find
i. the capacity of the cooling coil and its by pass factor
ii. the capacity of the heating coil and surface temperature of the heating coil if the bypass
factor is 0.2 [10]
(b) Why ventilation is required? Explain why different ventilation standards for different purposes
are recommended? [6]
8. (a) How are air filters classified? With a neat sketch describe the working of an electronic filter and
state the merits and demerits of this method. [10]
(b) Explain the advantages and disadvantages of Viscous filters over dry filters.
