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 the flash chamber is throttled to the evaporator pressure and cools the refrigerated space as it vaporizes in the evaporator. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the low pressure compressor is 0.2 kg/s.
Assuming the refrigerant leaves the evaporator as a saturated vapor and the isentropic efficiency is 78 percent for both compressors, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the high-pressure compressor, (b) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space, and the COP of this refrigerator.
Also, determine (d) the rate of heat removal and the COP if this refrigerator operated on a single-stage cycle between the same pressure limits with the same compressor efficiency and the same flow rate as in the previous part.

A refrigeration system with a flash chamber operates with R134a between the pressure limits of 1.0 and 0.1 MPa. The refrigerant leaves the condenser as saturated liquid and is throttled to a flash chamber operating at 0.5 MPa. The refrigerant leaving the low-pressure compressor at 0.5 MPa is also routed to the flash chamber. The vapor in the flash chamber is then compressed to the condenser pressure by the high-pressure compressor, and the liquidis throttled to the evaporator pressure. Assume...

(100 points) Figure below shows the schematic diagram of a two-stage cascade refrigeration system (also called the Economizer 2-Stage Refrigeration Cycle). Comparing to the cascade two-stage refrigeration system discussed in In-class Activity #10a, in this case, the flash chamber (now called Flash Intercooler) is still used but the mixing chamber is removed. The superheated vapor (2) out of the low-pressure compressor (1) is routed into the flash chamber, and the saturated vapor (3) out of the flash chamber enters directly...
Part A Consider an ideal two-stage refrigeration system (Figure 1) that uses R-12 as the working fluid. Saturated liquid leaves the condenser at 40 °C and is throttled to -20 °C. The liquid and vapor at this temperature are separated, and the liquid is throttled to the evaporator temperature at -70 °C. Vapor leaving the evaporator is compressed to the saturation pressure corresponding to -20 °C, after which it is mixed with the vapor leaving the flash chamber. Use TESTCalc...
