Question: A vapour compression refrigeration system with ammonia as the working fluid is to operate between 2 6 6 K and 3 0 0 K .

A vapour compression refrigeration system with ammonia as the working fluid is to operate between 266 K and 300 K . Determine the following:
(i) COP , given that the enthalpy of saturated vapour at 266K=656kJkg and enthalpy of superheated vapour leaving the compressor =724kJkg, enthalpy of saturated liquid at 300K=144kJkg.
(ii) COP, if a temperature approach of 5 K is necessary in the evaporator and condenser and the efficiency of the compressor is 75%. Enthalpy of saturated vapour at 261K=652kJkg and the enthalpy of superheated vapour entering the condenser =758kJkg, enthalpy of saturated liquid at 305K=159kJkg.
