1- In an ammonia vapour compression system, the pressure in the evaporator is 2 bar.
Ammonia at exit is 0.85 dry and at entry its dryness fraction is 0.19. During
compression, the work done per kg of ammonia is 150 kJ. Calculate the C.O.P. and
the volume of vapour entering the compressor per minute, if the rate of ammonia
circulation is 4.5 kg/min. The latent heat and specific volume at 2 bar are 1325 kJ/kg
and 0.58 m3 /kg respectively.
2- The temperature limits of an ammonia refrigerating system are 25o C and -10 oC. If
the gas is dry at the end of compression, calculate the coefficient of performance of
the cycle assuming no undercooling of the liquid ammonia. Use the following table for
properties of ammonia:
3- A vapour compression refrigerator works between the pressure limits of 60 bar and 25
bar. The working fluid is just dry at the end of compression and there is no under-
cooling of the liquid before the expansion valve. Determine : 1. C.O.P. of the cycle ;
and 2. Capacity of the refrigerator if the fluid flow is at the rate of 5 kg/min. data
4- Calculate the power needed to compress 20 kg / min of ammonia from saturated

vapour at 1.4 bar to a condensing pressure of 10 bar by twostage compression with
intercooling by liquid refrigerant at 4 bar. Assume saturated liquid to leave the
condenser and dry saturted vapours to leave the evaporator. Use the p-h chart.
Determine, also, the power needed when intercooling is not employed

5- The following data refer to a two stage compression ammonia refrigerating system
with water intercooler. Condenser pressure = 14 bar; Evaporator pressure = 2 bar;
Intercooler pressure = 5 bar; Load on the evaporator = 2 TR. If the temperature of the
de-superheated vapour and sub-cooled liquid refrigerant are limited to 30 oC, Find (a)
the power required to drive the system, and (b) CO.P. of the system
6- A two stage compression ammonia refrigeration system operates between overall pressure
limits of 14 bar and 2 bar. the temperature of the desuperheated vapour and subcooled
liquid refrigerant are limited to 30 oC. The flash tank separates dry vapour at 5 bar
pressure and the liquid refrigerant then expands to 2 bar Estimate the C.O.P. of the
machine and power required to drive the compressor , if the mechanical efficiency of the
drive is 80% and load on the evaporator is 10 TR.
7- Consider a two-stage cascade refrigeration system operating between the pressure

limits of 0.8 and 0.14 MPa. Each stage operates on an ideal vapor compression
refrigeration cycle with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. Heat rejection from the
lower cycle to the upper cycle takes place in an adiabatic counterflow heat exchanger
where both streams enter at about 0.32 MPa. (In practice, the working fluid of the
lower cycle is at a higher pressure and temperature in the heat exchanger for effective
heat transfer.) If the mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the upper cycle is 0.05
kg/s, Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the lower cycle, (b)
the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space and the power input to the
compressor, and (c) the coefficient of performance of this cascade refrigerator.
8- Consider a two-stage compression refrigeration system operating between the pressure

limits of 0.8 and 0.14 MPa. The working fluid is refrigerant-134a. The refrigerant
leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is throttled to a flash chamber operating
at 0.32 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. Assuming the refrigerant leaves the
evaporator as a saturated vapor and both compressors are isentropic, Determine (a)
the fraction of the refrigerant that evaporates as it is throttled to the flash chamber, (b)
the amount of heat removed from the refrigerated space and the compressor work per
unit mass of refrigerant flowing through the condenser, and (c) the coefficient of
performance.
