VAPOR COMPRESSION REFRIGERATION CYCLE
PROBLEM:
An ideal vapour-compression refrigeration cycle, with
ammonia as the working fluid, has an evaporator temperature
of -20C, and a condenser pressure of 12 bar. Saturated vapour
enters the compressor, and saturated liquid exits the condenser.
The mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 3 kg/min.
a) Determine the COP of the refrigerator and net rate of heat
removal from the cold box.
b) Determine the rate of heat rejected to the ambient.

GIVEN:

T2 = T4 = -20C
P2 = P3 = 12 bar

Reqd:
a) COP, Qc
b) QR
 SOLUTION:

@ T1 = -20C, satd vapor:

h1 = 1417.79 kJ/kg
s1 = 5.6144 kJ/kg-K

1 2 Isentropic compression:

s2 = s1 = 5.6144 kJ/kg-K

@ P2 = 12 bar, s2 = 5.6144 kJ/kg-K,

superheated:
s (kJ/kg-K) h (kJ/kg)
5.5315 1657.71 By interpolation:
h2 = 1689.75 kJ/kg
5.6144 h2
5.6620 1707.70
@ P3 = 12 bar, satd liquid:
h3 = 327.01 kJ/kg

3 4 Isenthalpic

h3 = h4 = 327.01 kJ/kg

Solving for COP:

Assume steady-state process:

 Solving for the net heat removal:

Solving for the rate of heat rejected into the atmosphere:

LINDE-HAMPSON CYCLE

PROBLEM:
Consider a Linde-system cycle with Nitrogen as
working fluid available at 1 bar at 300 K. it is then
compressed to 100 bar in the compressor.
Determine: Liquid yield, Work per unit mass
compressed, and Work for unit mass liquefied.
GIVEN:
PROPERTIES:

State 2 4 9

P 100 kPa 10000 kPa 100 kPa

T 300 K 300 K 77.24 K

h 311.16 291.90 -122.40

s 6.8457 5.4167 2.8294

 In getting z:

LCM: m4=m7 FLT: m4h4=m9h9+ m15h15

m16=m15
Divide FLT by m4
m7=m9+m16
m4=m9+m15 h4=zh9+(1-z)(h15)
h4=zh9+h15-zh15
z(h9-h15)=h4-h15
let : z=m9/m4 ; 1-z=m15/m4 z=(h4-h15)/(h9-h15)

 SOLUTION:

z = 0.0444
@ Compressor and cooler
LCM: m2 = m3 = m4 =m
FLT: mh4 mh2 = -Q + Win
SLT: ms4- ms2 + Q/T = 0
Q/T = m(s2-s4)
Q = mT(s2-s4)
Substitute:

Q=Q
-m(h4-h2)+W = mT(s2-s4)

W/m = T(s2-s4) + (h4-h2)

W/m = 300 (6.8457-5.4167) +(291.9-311.16)
W/m = 409.44 kJ/kg

Z = m9 / m4
m9 = z*m4 = z*m
W/m9 = W/ z*m = 409.44 / 0.0444
W/m9= 9221.62 kJ/kg
