Formulas:

  

a.) Heat Added in the Evaporator


QA=T1 (S1-S4) ; T1=T4=TL

b.)Heat Rejected in the Condenser

QR=T2 (S2-S3) ; T2=T3=TH


c.) Compressor Work

From:QR=QA+W

W=QR-QA=T2(S2-S1)-T1(S1-S4)

Since; S2-S3=S1-S4

W=(T2-T1)(S1-S4)
 
d.) COP of Refrigeration

COPR= ====
Where;
  
e.)COP of Heat Pump or Performance Factor

COPH====

COPH==
  
f.) Relation of COPC and COPH

From;
COPH=
Since;
=

COPH===COPR+1
Examples:

A carnot refrigeration cycle has a coefficient


of performance of 5…The power input to the
compressor is 5 Kw..Compute the rate of heat
rejection from the refrigerant to the
environment?
 
Solution:

Given: Required:
COPR=5 QR=?
W=5Kw
Formula:
COPR= QR=QA+W
Substitute; Substitute;
5= QR=25+5,KW
QA=25KW QR=30KW
  
Example:

A reversed Carnot refrigerator is


operating under the temperature limits -10
and 20..Find the COP?
 
Solution:

Given:
TL=-10 +273=263K
TH=20 +273=293K

Formula:
COPR===8.77
 
Example:

A building has to be maintained at 18 at


all times…When the temperature outside the
building drops to -6 ,the building losses heat
at a rate of 120,000KJ/hr…Compute the least
power necessary to drive the heat pumps?
 
Solution:
Given:
QR=120,000kJ/Hr=120000kJ/3600sec
TH=18+273=291K
TL=-6+273=267K
Formula:
COPH====97/8
QA=30.5842KW
W=QR-QA=2.7491KW,
