    MIN 106: Thermodynamics


    Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, IIT Roorkee

    Topic: Vapor refrigeration cycle


    1) Refrigerant-134a is the working fluid in an ideal compression refrigeration cycle. The
    refrigerant leaves the evaporator at -20oC and has a condenser pressure of 0.9 MPa. The
    mass flow rate is 3 kg/min. Find rate of heat removal, COPR and COPR, Carnot for the same
    Tmax and Tmin. [6.84 kW, 3.44, 3.97]

    2) A refrigerator uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and operates on an ideal vapor-
    compression cycle between 0.14 and 0.8 MPa. The mass flow rate of refrigerant is 0.06 kg/s.
    Determine (a) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space and the power input to
    compressor, (b) the power input to compressor (c) the rate of heat rejection to the
    environment and (d) the coefficient of performance. [8.56kW, 2.16 kW, (b) 10.72 kW, (c)
    3.963]

    3) A refrigerator uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and operates on an ideal vapor-
    compression cycle between 0.12 and 0.7 MPa. The mass flow rate of refrigerant is 0.05 kg/s.
    Show the cycle on a T-s diagram. Determine (a) the rate of heat removal from the
    refrigerated space and the power input to compressor, (b) the rate of heat rejection to the
    environment and (c) the coefficient of performance. [(a)7.41 kW, 1.83 kW, (b) 9.23 kW, (c)
    4.06]

    4) Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator at 140 kPa and -10oC at a rate of 0.3
    m3/min and leaves at 1 MPs. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 78 percent. The
    refrigerant enters the throttling valve at 0.95 MPa and 30oC and leaves the evaporator as
    saturated vapor at -18.5oC. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram and determine (a) the power
    input to the compressor, (b) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space, and (c) the
    pressure drop and rate of heat gain in the line between the evaporator and the compressor.
    [(a)1.88 kW, (b) 4.99 kW, (c) 1.65 kPa, 0.241 kW]

    5) A refrigerator operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with refrigerant-


    134a as the working fluid. The condenser operates at 1.6 MPa and the evaporator at -6 oC. If
    an adiabatic, reversible expansion device were available and used to expand the liquid
    leaving the condenser, how much would the COP improve by using this device instead of the
    throttling device. [2.77 to 3.04; 9.7%]
