A vapor compression refrigeration cycle operates at steady state and uses R-22 as its working fluid. You must use tables and explain how you look up each number. The cycle consists of 1-2 adiabatic, internally reversible compression to p₂=12 bar, T₂=40 C. 2-3: constant-pressure heat removal to X3=0 3-4: adiabatic throttling to p4-4.5 bar 4-1: constant-pressure heat addition a) Use tables to find the enthalpy at each state. Explain your process. b) Find the power requirements of the cycle (per mass flowrate working fluid) and the heat removed from the cold body (per mass flowrate working fluid). c) Find the coefficient of performance of the cycle as a refrigeration cycle d) What is the lowest possible temperature of a body that can be cooled by this refrigeration cycle e) What is the highest possible temperature of a body that can be used for heat rejection from this cycle?
