(I) ENCIRCLE THE MOST APPROPRIATE CHOICE PROVIDED IN BRACKETS

AGAINST EACH STATEMENT: (1/2-Mark each)
1.

One ton of refrigeration is equal to

(210 kJ/min 12000 Btu/h 3.5 kW

all of these

2. The ratio of heat extracted in the refrigerator to the work done on the refrigerant is called
(COP of heat pump refrigerating efficiency
ton of refrigeration none of these )
3. If the condenser temperature is kept constant, the COP of a refrigeration cycle
(remains same decreases
increases
) with the increase in evaporator temperature.
4.

In an Ice making plant ammonia is used as [ primary, secondary , basic refrigerant.]

5. The condition of refrigerant after passing through the condenser of a saturated vapor
compression refrigeration system is
( saturated vapor
superheated vapor
liquid-vapor saturated liquid )
6. The formation of frost on cooling coils in a refrigerator
(increases heat transfer
improves COP
reduces power consumption
increases power consumption )
7. In aqua-ammonia absorption refrigeration system
(
ammonia
lithium bromide
water ) is used as an absorbent.
8. In a vapor absorption system, the compressor in the vapor compression system is replaced by
(
absorber
generator
pump
all of these
)
9. (high latent heat of vaporization low boiling point high critical temperature all of these )
is/are the desirable property/properties of a refrigerant.
10. ( R-134a
R-22 R-12
refrigeration system.

R-717 ) is mostly used as a refrigerant in an absorption

11. (Absorption refrigeration

Steam jet refrigeration
vapor compression refrigeration Air
refrigeration) is most suitable for aircraft cabin cooling.
12. Air refrigeration works on ( Rankine cycle
Otto cycle
Diesel cycle
Bell
Coleman cycle)
13. In a/an (
absorption
gas
vapor compression steam jet
system the evaporation of water provides the refrigeration.

14. The driving force in steam jet refrigeration operation is ( electrical work
mechanical
work compressed air
motive steam )
15. The mass of water vapor present in one kilogram of dry air, is called
(relative humidity
degree of saturation specific volume of air specific humidity)
16. For ( unsaturated air
low-pressure air
high-pressure air
saturated air ),
dry bulb, wet bulb, and dew point temperatures is same.
17. For unsaturated air, the dew point temperature is ( more than
equal to
less than)
wet bulb temperature.
18. The (specific humidity
relative humidity
specific volume
all of these
) increases if air is humidified at constant temperature.
19. (
People
Lights
Appliances
All of these ) is/are the primary
source/sources of internal heat gain of a building.
20. The quality of a refrigeration system depends on its [efficiency, c.o.p, refrigerating effect]
