11-11 A refrigerator operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle and uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The condenser operates at 1.6 MPa and the evaporator at -6oC. If an adiabatic, reversible expansion device were available and used to expand the liquid leaving the condenser, how much would the COP improve by using this device instead of the throttle device?
A two-stage compression refrigeration system with an adiabatic liquid-vapor separation unit uses refrigerant-134a as working fluid. The system operates the evaporator at 0.4 MPa, the condenser at 1.6 MPa, and the separator at 0.8 MPa. The compressors use 25 kW of power. Given that the refrigerant is saturated liquid at the inlet of each expansion valve and saturated vapor at the inlet of each compressor, and the compressors are isentropic: (0) show the process on a T-s diagram; ) calculate...
