Problem 6-15 pts
Refrigerant 134a is the working fluid in a vapor-compression heat pump system with a heating capacity of 70,000BTUhr. The condenser operates at 180 psi , and the evaporator temperature is 20F. The refrigerant is a saturated vapor at the evaporator exit and exits the condenser at 115F. Pressure drops in the flows through the evaporator and condenser are negligible. The compression process is adiabatic, and the temperature at the compressor exit is 200F.
Determine:
A.(6 pts)- All enthalpy values throughout the cycle (Btu/lb)
B.(2 pts)- Mass flow rate of the refrigerant (lb/min)
C.(1 pt)- Compressor power input (hp)
D.(1 pt)- Isentropic compressor efficiency
E.(1 pt)- Coefficient of performance
F.(2 pts)- Draw the device diagram for the cycle (separate submission)
G.(2 pts)- Draw the T-S diagram for the working fluid (separate submission)
