Solution

The correct option is A 2.27
Given data:

h2=283 kJ/kg

h3=116 kJ/kg
=h4

h1=232 kJ/kg



Coefficient of perfomanace

COP=Refrigerating effect(RE)Work input(w)

where RE=h1−h4=232−116=116 kJ/kg

and
w=h2−h1=283−232=51 kJ/kg

∴ COP=11651=2.27

Q. In the vapour compression cycle shown in the figure, the evaporating and condensing temperature are 260 K and 310 K, respectively. the compressor takes in liquid-vapour mixture (state 1) and isentropically compresses it to a dry saturated vapour condition (state 2). the specific heat of the liquid refrigerant is 4.8 kJ/kg−K may be treated as constant. The enthalpy of evaporation for the refrigerator at 310 K is 1054 kJ/kg.


The difference between the enthalpies at state points 1 and 0 (in kJ/kg) is
Q. The vapour compression refrigeration cycle is represented as shown in the figure below, with state 1 being the exit of the evaporator. The coordinate system used in this figure is


Q. 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 table below.

Q. Refrigerant vapor enters into the compressor of a standard vapor compression cycle at −10∘C(h=402 kJ/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
Q. In a 10 kW cooling capacity refrigeration system operating on VCRS, the refrigerant enters the evaporator with an enthalpy of 80 kJ/kg and leaves with an enthalpy of 180 kJ/kg. The enthalpy of the refrigerant after compression is 220 kJ/kg. The rate of heat transfer at the condenser is
