A car air conditioning system takes air at 35 °C from the surrounding atmosphere and cools it down to 15 °C in a heat exchanger from which heat is removed by an ideal refrigeration cycle using refrigerant 134a. The condenser pressure is 1.2 MPa and the evaporator pressure is 0.2 MPa. If the car engine can supply 2 kW of power to run the air conditioner what is the maximum mass flow rate of cold air that can be supplied

QUESTION 4 (15 marks) Below is a schematic of a car air conditioning system that uses R-134a as its refrigerant. Here we will analyze the system under the case of driving through a very hot environment of 40 °C. The interior of the car is kept at 20 °C. Refrigerant leaves the compressor at 1.6 MPa absolute and leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid. The evaporator operates at 400 kPa absolute and the refrigerant leaves as a saturated vapour....
Condenser Compressor An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle is modified to include a counter-flow heat exchanger as shown. Refrigerant 134a leaves the evaporator as saturated vapor at 0.10 MPa and is heated at constant pressure to 20°C before entering the compressor. Following isentropic compression to 1.4 MPa, the refrigerant passes through the condenser and exits at 45°C and 1.4 MPa. The liquid then passes through the heat exchanger and enters the expansion valve at 1.4 MPa. The mass flow rate of...

Problem: The condenser in an air conditioning system is a heat exchanger in which cool air absorbs latent energy from the refrigerant, condensing the refrigerant from vapor to liquid. Refrigerant R-134 enters the condenser at 1 MPa and 90°C. It leaves the condenser at 1 MPa and 30°C. Cool air enters the condenser at 100 kPa and 27°C at a volume flow rate of 10 m3/s, and it leaves at 95 kPa and 60°C. Assume the specific heat of the...
-Rome can get pretty hot in the mid-summer! Most of the air conditioning units in the Tiber campus use the working fluid R-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane), which is replaces the less environmentally-friendly R-12 of years ago. a) Illustrate the following air conditioning cycle, indicating material, heat, and work flows, as well as given/known temperatures and pressures: R-134a is pressurized to 10.2 bar in an adiabatic, reversible compressor. This high-pressure, hot refrigerant is condensed outside of the building using ambient air to a...
-Week 12 6 Help S Required information NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted. you wiw be unable to retuwn to this part A two-stage compression refrigeration system operates with refrigerant-134a between the pressure limits of 1.4 MPa and 010 MPa. The refrigerant leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is throttled to a flash chamber operating at 0.6 MPa. he flash chamber is maintained at the same pressure as the low pressure discharge which...
Consider a two-stage cascade refrigeration system operating between the pressure limits of 1 MPa and 180 kPa with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The refrigerant leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is throttled to a flash chamber operating at 0.4 MPa. Part of the refrigerant evaporates during this flashing process, and this vapor is mixed with the refrigerant leaving the low-pressure compressor. The mixture is then compressed to the condenser pressure by the high-pressure compressor. The liquid in...
A heat pump operates on the ideal vapor compression refrigeration cycle with R-134a. The condenser pressure is 1.2 MPa and the specific enthalpy at the inlet to condenser is 279 kJ/kg. If the mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 0.193 kg/s, the rate of heat supply to the heated space is answer is 31.1 kw
4. Refrigeration and air conditioning is quite useful, but it is, in effect, a way to move heat from a low temperature to a high temperature. Is this possible, given the second law? Answer the following questions below, for R-134a (a common refrigerant), and then state whether you believe refrigeration violates the second law, and why (or why not) a. R-134a arrives to the inside of the refrigerator that you are trying to keep cooled to T- 4°C. The air...
Problem 2: A residential air-conditioner with an actual cooling capacity of 14.06 kJ/s (4 tons), cools and dehumidifies a steady stream of air flowing over the cooling coil. Actual states for the Refrigerant 134a are given Notice that the compressor efficiency is less than 100% and there are small pressure drops given for the heat exchangers. The coefficient of performance is 3.51 for the actual cycle. Changes in kinetic and potential energy are negligible. The warm indoor air temperature entering...
