Question
5- A refrigeration machine uses Freon R-502, evaporating temperature is -10 °C,
condensing temperature is 40 °C, and refrigeration capacity is 38 TR. The
refrigerant leaves the evaporator with 8 °C superheating and sub-cooled in
condenser with 8 °C lower than saturation temperature. The compressor is
reciprocating, single acting, number of cylinders of 4, clearance factor of 5 %,
number of revolution of 1150 rpm, mechanical efficiency of 0.80, and cylinder
dimensions L/D is 1.27. The compression is adiabatic with h₁ = 0.9. The
pressure drop in suction valve is 0.3 bar and delivery valve is 0.5 bar. The
condenser is cooled with water and the water temperature raises 8 °C in the
condenser. Estimate refrigerant mass flow rate, compressor power, cylinder
dimensions, condenser heat load, and the coefficient of performance.
