Q1. In a vapor compression refrigeration cycle Ammonia is compressed between saturation temperatures of -12ºC and +22ºC. The refrigerant is dry saturated at entry to the compressor and leaves the condenser with 4 degrees of under-cooling. The cooling load is 1.5 MW and the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 82%.
(a) Sketch the cycle on P-h and T-s diagrams.
(b) Determine EACH of the following:
(i) The co-efficient of performance;
(ii) The compressor power in kW;
(iii) The Carnot co-efficient of performance between the same pressure limits.
