A heat pump with an ideal compressor operates between 0.2 MPa and 1 MPa. Refrigerant R134a flows through the system at a rate of

0.3 kg/s. The heat pump is used to heat a home that loses heat to the environment at a rate of 180,000 Btu/hr. Refrigerant leaves the condenser as a subcooled liquid.
Determine the mass flow rate of refrigerant.

Answer:

The mass flow rate of refrigerant is 0.352 kg/s

Explanation:

Considering the cycle of an ideal heat pump, provided in the attachment, we first find enthalpy at state B and D. For that purpose, we use property tables of refrigerant R134a:

<u>At State A</u>:

From table, we see the enthalpy and entropy value of saturated vapor at 0.2 MPa. Therefore:

ha = 244.5 KJ/kg

Sa = 0.93788 KJ/kg.k

<u>At State B</u>:

Since, the process from state A to B is isentropic. Therefore,

Sb = Sa = 0.93788 KJ/Kg

From table, we see the enthalpy value of super heated vapor at 1 MPa and Sb. Therefore:

hb = 256.85 KJ/kg                          (By interpolation)

<u>At State C</u>:

From table, we see the enthalpy and entropy value of saturated liquid at 1 MPa. Therefore:

hc = 107.34 KJ/kg

Now, from the diagram it is very clear that:

Heat Loss = m(hb = hc)

m = (Heat Loss)/(hb - hc)

where,

m = mass flow rate = ?

Heat Loss = (180,000 Btu/hr)(1.05506 KJ/1 Btu)(1 hr/3600 sec)

Heat Loss = 52.753 KW

Therefore,

m = (52.753 KJ/s)/(256.85 KJ/kg - 107.34 KJ/kg)

<u>m = 0.352 kg/s</u>

jekas [21]

Complete Question

Complete Question is attached below.

Answer:

V'=5m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Diameter d=0.10m

Power P=4.0kW

Head loss \mu=10m

 \frac{P_1}{\rho g}+\frac{V_1^2}{2g}+Z_1+H_m=\frac{P_2}{\rho g}+\frac{V_2^2}{2g}+Z_2+\mu

 \frac{300*10^3}{\rho g}+35+Hm=\frac{500*10^3}{\rho g}+15+10

 H_m=(\frac{200*10^3}{1000*9.8}-10)

 H_m=10.39m

Generally the equation for Power is mathematically given by

 P=\rho gQH_m

Therefore

 Q=\frac{P}{\rho g H_m}

 Q=\frac{4*10^4}{1000*9.81*10.9}

 Q=0.03935m^3/sec

Since

 Q=AV'

Where

 A=\pi r^2\\A=3.142 (0.05)^2

 A=7.85*10^{-3}

Therefore

 V'=\frac{0.03935m^3/sec}{7.85*10^{-3}}

 V'=5m/s
