1. A vapor compression cycle has a coefficient of performance of 5.2. The power input to the compressor is
2 hp. Compute the rate of refrigeration in tons of refrigeration.
2. HFC refrigerant is used as an ideal vapor refrigeration cycle operating between saturation temperatures
of -20°C in the evaporator and 40°C in the condenser. Calculate the rate of refrigeration if the refrigerant
flows 60kg/min.
3. In problem No. 2, Determine the horse power per ton of refrigeration.
4. R134a is compressed from 200 kPa to 1000 kPa in a 83 percent efficient compressor. The condenser
existing temperature is 40°C. Calculate the COP.
5. Air at 3.25 bar and 550 K is extracted form a jet engine compressor and is to be used in cabin cooling.
The extracted air is cooled at a constant pressure heat exchanger down to 423 K. It then expands
isentropically through a turbine down to 1 bar. The power developed by the turbine is used for cabin
lighting and other accessories. The mass flow rate is 10 kg/min. Determine the temperature of air to
cabin.
6. In problem No. 5, find the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger in kw.
7. A San Miguel Corporation processing plant that requires cooling of 120 gallons per minute of water
from 15.6 to 10°C, assume that the cooler heat transfer surface area will enable a 5.5°C differential
between the chilled water leaving the cooler and the R-12 evaporating temperature, also assume that the
condenser heat transfer surface area will enable 5.5°C differential between the condenser water out and
the R-12 condensing temperature. Water be available for the condensing medium at 29.4°C inlet and
35°C outlet. Assume no liquid subcooling, or suction gas superheating. Find the Tons of refrigeration.
8. In Problem No. 7, determine the saturated condensing temperature.
9. In Problem No. 7, find the R-12 weight flow circulated in lb/min.
10. In Problem No. 7, determine the compression ratio.
11. How much refrigeration capacity is required to cool 2000 cfm of air from 85°F to 70°F?
12. In an ammonia condensing machine (compressor plus condenser) the water used for condensing is 55°F
and the evaporator is at 15°F. Calculate the ideal COP.
13. The weight of ammonia circulated in a machine is found to be 21.8 lb/hr. If the vapor enters the
compressor with a specific volume of 9.6 ft³/lb, calculate the piston displacement, assuming 80% percent
volume efficiency.
14. The load on an air-cooled condenser is 121,500 Btu/hr. If the desired temperature of the air in the
condenser is 25°F, determine the air quantity in cfm that must be circulated over the condenser.
15. The load on a water-cooled condenser is 90,000 Btu/hr. If the quantity of water circulated through the
condenser is 15 gpm, determine the temperature rise of the water in the condenser.
16. Determine the estimated condenser load for an open-type compressor having a cooling capacity of
16,500 Btu/hr and a heat rejection factor of 1.32.
17. Determine the shaft power required by the compressor if the theoretical power is 2.66 Hp and the overall
efficiency of the compressor is 80%.
18. Calculate the piston displacement of a two cylinder compressor rotating at 1450 rpm if the diameter of
the cylinder is 2.5 in. and the length of the stroke.
19. Compute the cooling rate produced by ice melting at the rate of 150 kg/hr.
20. One-tenth m³ of water is cooled from 39°C to 2°C. Determine the quantity of heat energy rejected by the
water.
