LISTA 01 - REFRIGERAO

EXERCCIO 01
An ammonia based refrigeration system with a refrigeration capacity of
100TR (1TR=3.5167 kW) operates at an evaporating temperature of 36 oC
(saturation pressure = 0.8845 bar) and a condensing temperature of 30 oC
(saturation pressure = 11.67 bar). Assume the system to operate on a single
stage saturated (SSS) cycle. The compression process may be assumed to
be isentropic. Under these conditions, the following property data are
available:
Enthalpy of saturated vapour at the exit of evaporator, h1 = 1414 kJ/kg
Enthalpy of saturated liquid at the exit of condenser, h4 = 341.8 kJ/kg
Isentropic index of compression, = 1.304
Refrigeration capacity, Qe = 100 TR = 351.67 kW
Evaporator temperature, Te = 36oC = 237 K
Evaporator pressure, Pe = 0.8845 bar = 88.45 kPa
Condenser temperature, Tc = 36oC = 237 K
Condenser pressure, Pc = 11.67 bar = 1167 kPa
Molecular weight , M = 17.04 kg/kmol
Gas constant, R = 8.314/17.04 = 0.4882 kJ/kg.K
Speed of compressor, N = 1750 RPM
Clearance factor, = 0.05
No. of cylinders, n = 8
Stroke-to-bore (L/D)
ratio, = 0.8

The compressor is an 8-cylinder, reciprocating type with a clearance ratio of

0.05 and speed of 1750 RPM.
The stroke-to-bore ratio is 0.8. In the absence of superheat data, the
refrigerant vapour may be assumed to behave as a perfect gas. The
molecular weight of ammonia is 17.03 kg/kmol. Fnd:
