Results and Discussion

Tabulation and Calculations

1. Tabulate your results under the following headings in Table 1:


2. Calculate the rates of heat removal from the evaporator Q L and
heat delivered to the condenser Q H at different water flow rates
and then determine their coefficients of performance of air
refrigerator (COPR) and heat pump (COPH) at different cooling
water msflow rates.


3. Using the data obtained in Table 1 and the calculated values from
step (2), plot

the graphs below and discuss.

(i) Heat delivered Q H (kW) to the condenser and compressor load
W
C (kW) against condenser water mass flow rate (kg/s).

(ii) Heat delivered Q H (kW) to the condenser and COPH versus
condenser water mass flow rate (kg/s).



4. Based on the data obtained for the maximum and minimum
cooling water flow
rates, plot the vapour compression cycle on P-H diagram (Fig. 5)
and compare with those based on ideal cycles. Discuss the results
obtained.

4. Vapor compression cycle on P-H diagram :

A difference between the real cycle and the ideal is that
temperature at which evaporation takes place is lower than the
temperature of the cold region so heat transfer can take place.
Similarly the temperature of the heat rejection must be higher
than the hot region temperature to bring about heat transfer in
the condenser.
