Graph the P-h diagram and T-s diagram for each problem. Show your hand-written
solution.

1. A refrigeration cycle is used to keep a refrigerated space at −25 ◦C


in an environment at 27 ◦C. The refrigeration load of the space is 11.5 kW and
the COP of the refrigerator is estimated to be 0.90. Determine (a) the power input,
(b) the rate of heat rejected in the condenser.
2. A commercial refrigerator is to cool eggplants from 28 to 12 ◦C at a rate of 660
kg/h. The power input to the refrigerator is 10 kW. Determine the rate of cooling
in kJ/s and the COP of the refrigerator. The specific heat of eggplant above
freezing is 3.92 kJ/kg· ◦C.
3. An ideal refrigeration cycle is used to keep a food department at −15◦C in an
environment at 22◦C. The total heat gain to the food department is estimated to
be 1750 kJ/h and the heat rejection in the condenser is 3250 kJ/h. Determine (a)
the power input to the compressor, (b) the COP of the refrigerator.
4. A 45,000 Btu/h refrigeration system operates on the ideal vapor-compression
refrigeration cy- cle with R-22 as the refrigerant. The evaporator pressure is 150
kPa and the condenser pressure is 1500 kPa. The refrigerant exchanges heat with
air at -5°C in the evaporator and with air at 19°C in the condenser. If the air
conditioner operates at full cooling load, determine (a) the mass flow rate of R-
22, (b) the power input in horsepower, hp (c) the COP, and (d) the heat rejected
at condenser per kg. The enthalpies of R-22 at various states are given as:

from the evaporator is dry saturated and there is no subcooling in the condenser. Clearance
factor of the compressor is 2 percent. Compression process is polytropic with 𝑛 = 1.20.
Determine (a) the refrigerating effect per kg (b) the horsepower required (c) the heat
rejected to the compressor jacket water and (d) the heat rejected at the condenser.
