Answer:

Actual COP = 5.368

Maximum theoretical COP = 6.368

Explanation:

Given - An ideal vapor compression refrigeration cycle operates with a condenser pressure of 900 kPa. The temperature at the inlet to the compressor is -5oC.

To find -  If this device operates using R134a as the working fluid. Calculate the actual COP of this device as well as the maximum theoretical COP.

Proof -

Given that,

An ideal vapor compression refrigeration cycle operates with a condenser pressure of 900 kPa.

From Refrigerant 134-a Table

At T1 = -5°C

h1 = 247.505 KJ/kg

S1 = 0.93434 KJ/kg

At P2 = 900 KPa

S1 = S2

h2 = 274.679 Kj/Kg

h3 = h4 = 101.61 KJ/g

So,

Compressor work (Wc) = h2 - h1

                                       = 274.679 - 247.505

                                       = 27.174

⇒Compressor work (Wc) = 27.174 KJ/kg

Now,

Heat out (Qout) = h2 - h3

                          = 274.679 - 101.61

                          = 173.069

⇒Heat out (Qout) = 173.069 KJ/kg

Now,

Heat input (Qin) = h1 - h4

                          = 274.505 - 101.61

                          = 145.895

⇒Heat input (Qin) = 145.895 KJ/kg

So,

Actual COP at the refrigerator is -

(COP)R = (Qin)/(Wc)

            = (145.895)/ (27.174)

            = 5.368

⇒Actual COP = 5.368

Now,

Maximum theoretical COP is -

(COP) = (Qout)/(Wc)

          = (173.069)/ (27.174)

          = 6.368

⇒Maximum theoretical COP = 6.368

alex41 [277]

Answer:

0.08kg/s

Explanation:

For this problem you must use 2 equations, the first is the continuity equation that indicates that all the mass flows that enter is equal to those that leave the system, there you have the first equation.

The second equation is obtained using the first law of thermodynamics that indicates that all the energies that enter a system are the same that come out, you must take into account the heat flows, work and mass flows of each state, as well as their enthalpies found with the temperature.

 

finally you use the two previous equations to make a system and find the mass flows
