3) Consider the following vapor-compression refrigeration cycle used to maintain a cold region
at temperature TC = -15°F when the ambient temperature is 80°F: Saturated vapor enters the
compressor at 15°F below TC, and the compressor operates adiabatically with an isentropic
efficiency of 80%. Saturated liquid exits the condenser at 95°F. There are no pressure drops
through the evaporator or condenser, and the refrigerating capacity is 1 ton. Determine
(a) the refrigerant mass flow rate, in lb/min
(b) the coefficient of performance
(c) the refrigerating efficiency
if the refrigerant is ammonia.
7) The pressure within a 23.3-m3 tank should not exceed 105 bar. Check the pressure within the
tank if filled with 1000 kg of water vapor maintained at 360°C using the
