Problem:
A standard vapor compression cycle using Freon 22 operates on simple saturation
cycle at the following conditions:
Refrigerating capacity = 15 TOR
Condensing temperature = 40 deg C
Evaporating temperature = 5 deg C
Calculate:
(a) Refrigerant circulation rate in kg/s.
(b) Power required by the compressor in HP if adiabatic efficiency = 0.8 and the
mechanical efficiency = 0.88
(c) Volume flow rate of refrigerant at compressor suction
(d) Compressor discharge temperature
(e) Ideal and actual COP
