Answer: In a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle,

Chapter 10, Problem 21P

(choose chapter or problem)

In a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, ammonia exits the evaporator as saturated vapor at \(22^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The refrigerant enters the condenser at 16 bar and \(160^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), and saturated liquid exits at 16 bar. There is no significant heat transfer between the compressor and its surroundings, and the refrigerant passes through the evaporator with a negligible change in pressure. If the refrigerating capacity is 150 kW, determine

(a) the mass flow rate of refrigerant, in kg/s.

(b) the power input to the compressor, in kW.

(c) the coefficient of performance.

(d) the isentropic compressor efficiency.
