Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Miscellaneous
- Refrigerant vapor enters into the compressor of a standard vapor compression cycle at –10°C (h = 402 J/kg) and leaves the compression at 50°C (h = 432 kJ/kg). It leaves the condenser at 30°C (h = 237 kJ/kg). The COP of the cycle is ________.

Work done = 432 – 402 = 30 kJ/kg
Refrigerating effect = 402 – 237 = 165 kJ/kg.COP = 165 = 5.5 30 Correct Option: B
Work done = 432 – 402 = 30 kJ/kg
Refrigerating effect = 402 – 237 = 165 kJ/kg.COP = 165 = 5.5 30

Clearance ratio = Clearance volume Swept volume = 100 = 1 1000 - 100 9 Correct Option: C
Clearance ratio = Clearance volume Swept volume = 100 = 1 1000 - 100 9
- A refrigerator uses R134a as its refrigerant and operates on a ideal vapour-compression refrigeration cycle between 0.14 MPa and 0.8 MPa. If the mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 0.05 kg/s, the rate of heat rejection to the environment is _______ kW.
Given data:
At P = 0.14 MPa, h = 236.04 kJ/kg , s = 0.9322 kJ/kgK
At P = 0.8 MPa, h = 272.05 kJ/kg (superheated vapour)
At P = 0.8 MPa, h = 93.42 kJ/kg (saturated liquid)

h1 = 236.04 kJ/kg
h2 = 272.05 kJ/kg
h3 = 93.42 kJ/kg
s1 = 0.9322 kJ/kg
ṁ = 0.05 kg/s
Heat Rejection = ṁ(h2 – h3) = 0.05(272.05 – 93.42)
Heat Rejection = 8.931 kWCorrect Option: A
h1 = 236.04 kJ/kg
h2 = 272.05 kJ/kg
h3 = 93.42 kJ/kg
s1 = 0.9322 kJ/kg
ṁ = 0.05 kg/s
Heat Rejection = ṁ(h2 – h3) = 0.05(272.05 – 93.42)
Heat Rejection = 8.931 kW
