Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Miscellaneous
  1. Refrigerant vapor enters into the compressor of a standard vapor compression cycle at –10°C (h = 402 J/kg) and leaves the compression at 50°C (h = 432 kJ/kg). It leaves the condenser at 30°C (h = 237 kJ/kg). The COP of the cycle is ________.

    Work done = 432 – 402 = 30 kJ/kg
    Refrigerating effect = 402 – 237 = 165 kJ/kg.

    COP =
    165
    		 = 5.5
    30

    Correct Option: B

    Work done = 432 – 402 = 30 kJ/kg
    Refrigerating effect = 402 – 237 = 165 kJ/kg.

    COP =
    165
    		 = 5.5

    Power required by compressor p = ṁ(h2 – h1)
    = 0.2 (276.45 – 237) = 7.9 kW

    Correct Option: C

    Power required by compressor p = ṁ(h2 – h1)
    = 0.2 (276.45 – 237) = 7.9 kW

  1. The rate at which heat is extracted, in kJ/s from the refrigerated space is








  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Rate at which heat is extracted = ṁ(h1 – h4)
    = 0.2 (237 – 95.5) = 28.3 kW

    Correct Option: A

    Rate at which heat is extracted = ṁ(h1 – h4)
    = 0.2 (237 – 95.5) = 28.3 kW

  1. In an ideal vapour compression refrigeration cycle, the specific enthalpy of refrigerant (in kJ/kg) at the following states is given as :
    Inlet of condenser : 283
    Exit of condenser : 116
    Exit of evaporator : 232
    The COP of this cycle is

    1– 2 → work done by the compressor
    2 – 3 → condenser heat rejected at constant pressure
    3 – 4 → throttling
    4 – 1 → heat addition in evaporator
    Given: h2 = 283 kJ/ kg
    h3 = 116 kJ/kg = h4 (from ph curve)
    h1 = 232 kJ/kg
    We know

    C.O.P =
    desired effect
    		 =
    Cooling effect
    work inputwork done by compressor

    C.O.P =
    h1 – h4
    		 =
    232 - 116
    		 = 2.27
    h2 – h1283 - 232
