Question: A vapour compression refrigeration system works between the pressure limits of 0 . 7 4 bar and 8 . 7 2 bar. The refrigerant used

A vapour compression refrigeration system works between the pressure limits of 0.74 bar and 8.72 bar. The refrigerant used in the system is R134a. Refrigerant temperatures at the outlet of evaporator is 30C, at the exit of the compressor 88C, exit of condenser 33C and at exit of expansion valve is 9.1C. Condenser water inlet temperature is 29.5C and outlet temperature is 35.4C. The water flow rate to the condenser is 24cm3s. The power required to drive the compressor is 360 W . Calculate the following, (i) Mass flow of refrigerant, (ii) Refrigerating capacity, (iii) Heat rejected by the condenser, (iv) Actual COP of the system. (solve using p-h chart)
