Problem 12.059E - Two-Stage compression refrigeration with vaporliquid separation
A two-stage compression refrigeration system with an adiabatic liquidvapor separation unit like that in the figure uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The system operates the evaporator at 100.0 psia the condenser at 300.0 psia, and the separator at 200.0 psia. The compressors use 29.00 kW of power. Determine the rate of cooling provided by the evaporator and the COP of this cycle. The refrigerant is a saturated liquid at the inlet of each expansion valve and a saturated vapor at the inlet of each compressor, and the compressors are isentropic.(Round the final answers to three decimal places.)
(Take the required values from saturated refrigerant-134a tables.)
In the two-stage compression refrigeration system, the refrigerant passes through a compressor into a condenser, m 2. From the condenser, the product passes to a separator via a pipeline into an evaporator m 6. In the last stage, the product passes to the compressor into a separator.
The rate of cooling provided by the evaporator is Btu/h, and the COP of the refrigerator is .
