Question

A refrigerator operates between 120 kPa and 800 kPa in an ideal vapor compression cycle with R134a as the refrigerant. The refrigerant enters the compressor as saturated vapor and leaves the condenser as saturated liquid. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 0.2kg/s. Properties for R134a are as follows:

Saturated R- 134aP(kPa)T(C)hf(kJ/kg)hs(kJ/kg)sf(kJ/kgK)sg(kJ/kgK)12022.3222.52370.0930.9580031.3195.5267.30.3540.918Superheated R- 134aP(kPa)T(C)h(kJ/kg)s(kJ/kgK)80040276.450.95

Solution

The correct option is A 28.3
From given R134a tables ,
we get
h1=237 kJ/kg
h2=276.45 kJ/kg
h3=h4=95.5 kJ/kg


Mass flow rate: m=0.2 kg/s

Rate of heat extracted:
Q41=m(h1h4)=0.2(23795.5)

=28.3 kW
