    Reina Grace Panganiban
    This document contains 5 sample problems related to refrigeration cycles. The first problem involves determining the rate of heat removal, power input, isentropic efficiency, and coefficient of performance for a refrigeration cycle operating between specified pressures and temperatures. The second problem involves analyzing a refrigeration cycle on a T-s diagram and determining the power input, heat removal rate, and pressure/heat changes between components. The third problem uses EES to evaluate the effect of varying evaporator and condenser pressures on the COP. The fourth problem involves determining the optimum refrigerant and performance parameters for a specified refrigeration system. The fifth problem compares the performance of an actual refrigeration cycle to an ideal cycle operating between the same temperatures.

    COURSE TASK #3
    1. Sample Problem
    Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator as superheated vapor at 0.14
    MPa and -10°C at a rate of 0.05 kg/s and leaves at 0.8 MPa and 50°C. The refrigerant is cooled in
    the condenser to 26°C and 0.72 MPa and is throttled to 0.15 MPa. Disregarding any heat transfer
    and pressure drops in the connecting lines between the components, determine (a) the rate of heat
    removal from the refrigerated space and the power input to the compressor, (b) the isentropic
    efficiency of the compressor, and (c) the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator.

    2. Sample Problem
    Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator at 100 kPa and -20°C at a
    rate of 0.5 m3/min and leaves at 0.8 MPa. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 78
    percent. The refrigerant enters the throttling valve at 0.75 MPa and 26°C and leaves the
    evaporator as saturated vapor at -26°C. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to
    saturation lines and determine (a) the power input to the compressor, (b) the rate of heat removal
    from the refrigerated space, and (c) the pressure drop and rate of heat gain in the line between the
    evaporator and the compressor.
    3. Sample Problem Using EES
    An Ideal vapor compression cycle operates between a pressure limits of 20kPa and
    1200kPa. Evaluate the effect of varying the evaporator pressure to COP if the pressure is to be
    varied from 20kPa to 500kPa. Use a linear interval having a 100points to show an accurate result.
    Use R22 as refrigerant.
    Repeat the procedure by varying the Condenser pressure from 800kPa to 1500kPa.
    Analyze also its effect to COP value.

    4. Evaluation Problem 1
    Consider a 300 kJ/min refrigeration system that operates on an ideal vapor-compression
    refrigeration cycle. The refrigerant enters the compressor as saturated vapor at 140kPa and is
    compressed to 800 kPa. From the given data, determine the refrigerant that can give an optimum
    COP from the given condition. Also, upon determining which refrigerant can give an optimum
    COP, determine the (a) the quality of the refrigerant at the end of the throttling process, and (b)
    the power input to the compressor.

    5. Evaluation Problem 2
    An actual refrigerator operates on the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with refrigerant-
    22 as the working fluid. The refrigerant evaporates at -15°C and condenses at 40°C. The isentropic
    efficiency of the compressor is 83 percent. The refrigerant is superheated by 5°C at the compressor
    inlet and subcooled by 5°C at the exit of the condenser. Determine (a) the heat removed from the
    cooled space and the work input, in kJ/kg and the COP of the cycle. Determine (b) the same
    parameters if the cycle operated on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle between the same
    evaporating and condensing temperatures. What will be the difference in Refrigerating effect in TOR
    if both systems are running at 0.5kg/s of refrigerant.
