1. A refrigeration unit of 80 T.R capacity works with R-717 as a refrigerant
and contains one evaporator, and two methods of inter cooing water and
flash inter-cooling as shown in Fig. The pressures of evaporator,
intermediate and condenser are respectively 1.8, 5 and 14 bar. Compression
is isentropic for the two stages. Ammonia vapor leaves the evaporator with 5
°C superheating, leaves the water inter-cooler at 27 °C and leaves the flash
inter-cooler saturated. Find the power required and the C.O.P. of the system.
2. The system, shown in the Fig, uses R-134a to produce a cooling capacity of
24 T.R. The system consists of two stages, compressor with liquid-flash sub-
cooler and heat exchanger. The refrigerant leaves the condensers as saturated
liquid at 40 °C and it is sub-cooled 5 °C in the surface sub-cooler and
another 10 °C in the liquid- vapor heat exchanger. The vapor refrigerant
leaves the evaporator saturated at -23 °C. Vapor leaves the liquid-flash sub-
cooler saturated at 5 °C. Compression is isentropic. Find the power required
for each compressor and the C.O.P. of the system.

3. A vapor compression system uses R-134a as a refrigerant for cooling load of
25 T.R. The evaporator pressure is 1.2 bar while that of condenser is 12 bar.
Isentropic compression is considered. What will be the percentage decrease
of the compressor power and also the percentage increase of the C.O.P if
two flash intercoolers at 3.5 bar and 6 bar are used.
4. The system shown in this Fig consists of two stages, R-12, compressor with
surface sub-cooler and heat exchanger. The refrigerant leaves the condensers
as saturated liquid at 35 C and it is sub-cooled 5 C in the surface sub-
cooler and another 10 C in the liquid- vapor heat exchanger. The vapor
refrigerant is 8 C super-heated at the suction valve of the high-pressure
stage compressor. Evaporator saturation temperature is -10 C. Intermediate
pressure is the pressure corresponding to 0 C. Compression is isentropic,
and vapor leaves the evaporator saturated. The cooling capacity is 12 T.R.
Find the power required and the C.O.P.

5. Consider a two-stage compression refrigeration system operating between
the pressure limits of 0.8 and 0.14 MPa. The working fluid is refrigerant-
134a. The refrigerant leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is
throttled to a flash chamber operating at 0.32 MPa. Part of the refrigerant
evaporates during this flashing process, and this vapor is mixed with the
refrigerant leaving the low-pressure compressor. The mixture is then
compressed to the condenser pressure by the high-pressure compressor. The
liquid in the flash chamber is throttled to the evaporator pressure and cools
the refrigerated space as it vaporizes in the evaporator. Assuming the
refrigerant leaves the evaporator as a saturated vapor and both compressors
are isentropic, determine (a) the fraction of the refrigerant that evaporates as
it is throttled to the flash chamber, (b) the amount of heat removed from the
refrigerated space and the compressor work per unit mass of refrigerant
flowing through the condenser, and (c) the coefficient of performance.

6. An industrial plant uses R-22 as a refrigerant and operates with one
compressor and two evaporators with individual expansion valves. The high
temperature evaporator is used for chilling vegetables with a capacity of 12
T.R. at a room temperature of 2 °C. The lower temperature evaporator is
installed in a freezing room of a cooling capacity of 20 T.R. and maintained
at -18 °C. The condensing temperature is 43 °C. The temperature difference
between each evaporator and the surrounding is 7 °C. Compression is
adiabatic with isentropic efficiency of 90 %. Find the power required for
deriving the compressor and the C.O.P. of unit knowing that the mechanical
efficiency is 88 %.
7. A vapor compression system is arranged as shown in Fig and uses R-500 as
a refrigerant with the following data:
TCond = 35 C, Te1 = TFIC= -5 C, and Te2 = -20 C.
The low-pressure evaporator produces twice the capacity of the high
pressure one. The vapor leaves the two evaporators and flash intercooler at
saturation and leaves the WIC at 0C. Find the C.O.P of the system.

8. Consider a two-stage cascade refrigeration system operating between the
pressure limits of 1.2 MPa and 200 kPa with refrigerant-134a as the working
fluid. Heat rejection from the lower cycle to the upper cycle takes place in an
adiabatic counter-flow heat exchanger where the pressure in the upper and
lower cycles are 0.4 and 0.5 MPa, respectively. In both cycles, the
refrigerant is a saturated liquid at the condenser exit and a saturated vapor at
the compressor inlet. If the mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the
lower cycle is 0.15 kg/s, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant
through the upper cycle, (b) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated
space, and (c) the COP of this refrigerator.?
9. A cascade system is composed of two ideal refrigeration cycles, the high-
temperature cycle uses R-410a. Saturated liquid leaves the condenser at 40
◦C, and saturated vapor leaves the heat exchanger at−20◦C. The low-
temperature cycle uses a different refrigerant, R-23. Saturated vapor leaves
the evaporator at−80◦C with h=330 kJ/kg, and saturated liquid leaves the
heat exchanger at−10◦C with h=185 kJ/kg. R-23 out of the compressor has
h=405 kJ/kg. Calculate the ratio of the mass flow rates through the two
cycles and the COP of the total system?
