    Capacity= Q = 300 MJ/day

    =
    300 × 103
    kJ / s
    24 × 60 × 60

    = 3.47 kW
    1 ton = 3.5 kW
    ∴ Q =
    3.47
    = 0.99 ton = 1 ton
    3.5

    Correct Option: A

    Capacity= Q = 300 MJ/day

    =
    300 × 103
    kJ / s
    24 × 60 × 60

    = 3.47 kW
    1 ton = 3.5 kW
    ∴ Q =
    3.47
    = 0.99 ton = 1 ton

Direction: A refrigerator based on ideal vapour compression cycle operates between the temperature limits of –20°C and 40°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser as saturated vapour and leaves as saturated liquid. The enthalpy and entropy values for saturated liquid and vapour at these temperatures are given in the table below.

    h1 = h4 = 80 kJ/kg , s3 = 0.67
    h3 = 200 kJ/kg , s2 = 0.67
    h1' = 20 kJ/kg , s2' = 0.7366
    h2' = 20 kJ/kg , s1' = 0.07
    s2 = s1' + x(s2' - s1')
    = 0.07 + x + (0.7366 – 0.07)
    ⇒ 0.67 = 0.07 + 0.6666 x

    ⇒ x =
    0.67 - 0.07
    = 0.90
    0.6666

    h2 = h1' + x(h2' - h1')
    = 20 + 0.9(180 – 20)
    = 20 + 0.9 × 160 = 165 kJ/kg
    Refrigerating effect per kg = h2 – h1 = 164 – 80 = 84 kJ/kg
    Hence refrigerating effect for 0.025 kg/sec circulation = 84 × 0.025 = 2.1 kW

    Correct Option: A


    h1 = h4 = 80 kJ/kg , s3 = 0.67
    h3 = 200 kJ/kg , s2 = 0.67
    h1' = 20 kJ/kg , s2' = 0.7366
    h2' = 20 kJ/kg , s1' = 0.07
    s2 = s1' + x(s2' - s1')
    = 0.07 + x + (0.7366 – 0.07)
    ⇒ 0.67 = 0.07 + 0.6666 x

    ⇒ x =
    0.67 - 0.07
    = 0.90
    0.6666

    h2 = h1' + x(h2' - h1')
    = 20 + 0.9(180 – 20)
    = 20 + 0.9 × 160 = 165 kJ/kg
    Refrigerating effect per kg = h2 – h1 = 164 – 80 = 84 kJ/kg
    Hence refrigerating effect for 0.025 kg/sec circulation = 84 × 0.025 = 2.1 kW
