Question: 1 0 . 2 4 A vapor - compression refrigeration system for a household refrigerator has a refrigerating capacity of 1 0 0 0 B

10.24 A vapor-compression refrigeration system for a household refrigerator has a refrigerating capacity of 1000Btuh. Refrigerant enters the evaporator at -10F and exits at 0F. The isentropic compressor efficiency is 80%. The refrigerant condenses at 95F and exits the condenser subcooled at 90F. There are no significant pressure drops in the flows through the evaporator and condenser. Determine the evaporator and condenser pressures, each in lbf/in.?2, the mass flow rate of refrigerant, in lbmin, the compressor power input, in horsepower, and the coefficient of performance for (a) Refrigerant 134a and (b) propane as the working fluid.
