Ref, no ME/T/414272016(8) 1B, MECHANICAL 4" YRAR 1" SEMESTAR SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMINATION 2016 REFRIGERATION & AIR CONDITIONING Time ~ Three hours Full Marks ~ 100 ‘Refrigeration tables and chats, steam tables and psyeromevc chars may be used if necessary. Problems on psyehromesry are to be solved using the psychometric hart and such charts are to be enclosed, With the answer sept Missing data (if any) may be assumed consistent withthe problem. ‘Answer any S(Five) questions Q.1.a) Define the term “one ton of reftigeration”. ‘Draw the schematic diagram ofthe equipment and T-S diagram of Bell-Coleman eyele. Also desive the expression for COP ofthe above eyele in terms of pressure ratio, Assuming that the compression and expansion proceses are isentropic. ) A refrigerator is working on Bell-Coleman cycle. The air is drawn fiom the cold chamber at temperature 7°C and | bar, And thet the airs compressed sentropicaly to S bar. Is then cooled in the cooling chamber at this pressure to 27°C and then led to the expansion cylinder where it expands isentvopically dawn to | bat pressure and is ischarged to colé chamber. Find the following: {) The heat exacted from cold chamber per Kg of it {i) The heat rejected in the cooling chamber per Kg of air ill) The net work input per Kg of air iv) The COP ofthe refiigeator. ‘Assume for sie C= 1K/Kg K and 1.4 ‘Also represent the above eycle on p-v and T-S planes. 1041020 (Q.28) Explain with the help of p-h diagrams the effect of sub-cooling and superheating on the performance ‘of the vapour compression religeation cycle, ') A R-1348 vapour compression refrigeration system working at evaporating temperature of 10°C and ‘condensing temperature of 40°C. Determine the following: i) The rettigerating effect in KIKg }) The work af compression in Kiike i) The COP of the system ) The mass flow rate of refrigerant required for 1 kw of refrigeration. Also represent the above cycle on p-h plane. 10+10-20 2) State the resons for introducing the concept of volumetisefcieney ofa reprocatng compressor. b) A roigeation plant works between 10°C evaporator temperature and 30°C condenser temperate, desermine the clearance volume efisieney of a reciprocating comprestor if R22 is used a8 refigeran. The clearance shouldbe iken as 3% of the seoks volume.Ref, no: ME/TI414272016(8) 2 6) State the function of the capillary tube ina domestic eigeration system, ‘0) Write a short note on “Designation of refiigerats. 4461525-20 (Q4. a) Differentiate betveen vapour compression rftigeation system end vepour absorption refigeration system ina tabalar form, 1) Find out the expression forthe maximum COP of vapour ebsorpion refigeation system, 10+10=20 QS.) Define relative humidity and degree of saturation of moist air. Also devive the relation between relative humidity and degree of saturation 1b) Moist air exists at 30°C dot and 26°C wor.
