B.A Refrigerator working on Bell-Coleman cycle takes air in to the compressor at

1bar and – 50C.It is compressed in compressor to a 5 bar and cooled to 250C at
the same pressure. It is further expanded in the expander to 1bar and discharged

to take cooling load.The isentropic efficiency of the compressor=85% and the
I K3 C01 2.5M
isentropic efficiency of the Expander=90% find the following:
i)Refrigerating capacity of the system if air circulation is
40kg/min. ii)KW capacity of motor required to run the
compressor iii)COP of the system.Take ᵞ=1.4,Cp=1kJ/kg
Cv=0.7kJ/kg for air

A boot-strap air refrigeration system is used for an air-plane to take 20 ton of cooling load.
The ambient conditions are 5oC and 0.85 bar. The air pressure increases to 1.1 bar due to
ramming action which is considered ideal (isentropic).The pressure of air bled off the main
compressor is 3.5 bar and this air is further compressed in the secondary compressor to 4.5
3 bar. The isentropic or internal efficiency of the main compressor as well as secondary K3 C01 5M
compressor is 90% and that of the cooling turbine is 80%. Heat exchanger effectiveness of
the primary heat exchanger is 0.6 and that of secondary heat exchanger is 0.6 assume
Cp=1.0kJ/kgK. Determine: (i) Power required to take the cabin load (ii) C.O.P. of the system.
The cabin may be maintained at 1 bar and 250C. The cooling turbine runs the secondary
compressor and uses its surplus power to run fan for blowing in the ram air to waste.

A food storage refrigeration system requires 12 tons capacity to maintain the food at– 8OC.
The condenser temperature is 30OC. The vapour leaving the evaporator is superheated by
6OC and liquid leaving the condenser is sub-cooled by 5OC. Find the
followings: i) Theoretical C.O.P. ii) Theoretical power required and iii) Mass of refrigerant
