Question: A two - stage compression refrigeration system operates with refrigerant - 1 3 4 a between the pressure limits of 1 and 0 . 1

A two-stage compression refrigeration system operates with refrigerant-134a
between the pressure limits of 1 and 0.14 MPa . The refrigerant leaves the
condenser as a saturated liquid and is throttled to a flash chamber operating at
0.5 MPa . The refrigerant leaving the low-pressure compressor at 0.5 MPa is
also routed to the flash chamber.
The vapor in the flash chamber is then compressed to the condenser pressure
by the high-pressure compressor, and the liquid is throttled to the evaporator
pressure. Assuming the refrigerant leaves the evaporator as a saturated vapor,
and both compressors are isentropic,
Determine:
(a) the fraction of the refrigerant that evaporates as it is throttled to the
flash chamber,
(b) the rate of heat removed from the refrigerated space for a mass flow
rate of 0.25kg//s through the condenser,
(c) the coefficient of performance.
