Question: 5 ( d ) _ # 2 : A vapor - compression refrigeration system circulates Refrigerant 2 2 at a rate of 1 2 l

5(d)_#2: A vapor-compression refrigeration system circulates Refrigerant 22 at a rate of 12lbmin. The refrigerant enters the compressor at -40F,15lbfin2, and exits at 80lbfin2. The isentropic compressor efficiency is 67%. There are no appreciable pressure drops as the refrigerant flows through the condenser and evaporator. The refrigerant leaves the condenser at 80lbfin2,30F. Ignoring heat transfer between the compressor and its surroundings, determine
a) the compressor power, in Btu/min, and the refrigeration capacity, in tons. (4.89 tons)
b) the coefficient of performance. (3.1)
