Question: ( b ) In a refrigeration system utilizing Refrigerant - 2 2 as the working fluid, an ideal vaporcompression refrigeration cycle operates between pressure levels

(b) In a refrigeration system utilizing Refrigerant-22 as the working fluid, an ideal vaporcompression refrigeration cycle operates between pressure levels of 131.68 kPa and 680.7 kPa . If the system has a refrigerant mass flow rate of 0.3kgs, calculate the following:
i. The rate of heat extracted from the refrigerated space and the power required by the compressor.
ii. The rate of heat dissipated to the surroundings.
iii. The Coefficient of Performance (COP) for the refrigerator.

Q=m(h1-h4)
=0.3(390.896-211.877)
=53.7kJs
Power required by the compressor
dq-dw=dh+CdC+gdZ
dq-dw=dh+gdc+glL
dq-dw=dh+gc+gdL
-dw=dh
-w=m(h2-h1)
=0.3(412.651-390.896)
=6.53kw2
Q=m(h2-h3)
=0.3(412.61-211.877)
=60.2322
iii. The Coefficient of Performance (COP) for the refrigerator.
=53.76.53
=8.22
