Refrigerant-134a enters an adiabatic compressor at -30oC as a saturated vapor at a rate of 0.45 m3 /min and leaves at 900 kPa an
1 answer:
Answer:
a) 1.918 kw
b) 86.23%
c) 0.26 kw
Explanation:
Given data:
T1 = -30°C = 243 k , T0 = 27°C
using steam tables
h1 = 232.19 KJ/kg
s1 = 0.9559 Kj/Kgk
T2 = 55°C P2 = 900 kPa
Psat = 1492 kPa, h2 = 289.95 Kj/Kg, s2 = 0.9819 Kj/kgk , m = 0.0332 kg/s
<u>a) Determine the power input to the compressor</u>
power input = 1.918 kw
<u>b) Determine isentropic efficiency of compressor</u>
Isentropic efficiency = 86.23%
<u>c) Determine rate of exergy destruction</u>
rate = 0.26 kw

Answer:
Suction and exhaust processes do not affect the performance of Otto cycle.
Explanation:
Step1
Inlet and exhaust flow processes are not including in the Otto cycle because the effect and nature of both the process are same in opposite direction.
Step2
Inlet process or the suction process is the process of suction of working fluid inside the cylinder. The suction process is the constant pressure process. The exhaust process is the process of exhaust out at constant pressure.
Step3
The suction and exhaust process have same work and heat in opposite direction. So, net effect of suction and exhaust processes cancels out. The suction and exhaust processes are shown below in P-V diagram of Otto cycle:
Process 0-1 is suction process and process 1-0 is exhaust process.
