Question: Problem 1 : A commercial refrigerator with R - 2 9 0 as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -

Problem 1:
A commercial refrigerator with R-290 as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -30C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18C at a rate of 0.25kgs and leaves at 26C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 100C and leaves at 30C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60 kPa and -34C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of 450 W from the surroundings. Using EES, determine
(a) the quality of the refrigerant at the evaporator inlet,
(b) isentropic efficiency of the compressor,
(c) the refrigeration load,
(d) the COP of the refrigerator,
(e) the Carnot COP of the refrigerator,
(f) the theoretical maximum refrigeration load for the same power input to the compressor, and
(g) sketch the P-h and T-s diagrams of the cycle.
