Air enters the evaporator section of a window air conditioner at 14.7 psia and 90°F with a volume flow rate of 200 ft3 /min. Refrigerant-134a at 20 psia with a quality of 30 percent enters the evaporator at a rate of 4 lbm/min and leaves as saturated vapor at the same pressure. Determine (a) the exit temperature of the air and (b) the rate of heat transfer from the air.

An air conditioner using refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and operating on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle is to maintain a space at 36°C while operating its condenser at 1600 kPa. Determine the COP of the system when a temperature difference of 4°C is allowed for the transfer of heat in the evaporator. (Take the required values from saturated refrigerant-134a tables.)

Atmosphric air at 40 F and 50% relative humidity enters the heating section of an airconditioning device at a volumetric flow rate of 100ft^3/min. Water vapor is added to the heated air to increase the relative humidity to 55%. The temperature after the heating section is 72F and the temperature at the exit is 74F. Using the appropriate fomulas: a) determine the rate of the heat transfer in Btu/min. b) determine the mass flow of water vapor in lbm/min.

Refrigerant 134a is the working fluid in a vapor-compression heat pump system with a heating capacity of 60,000 Btu/h. The condenser operates at 240 lbf/in.2, and the evaporator temperature is 0°F. The refrigerant is a saturated vapor at the evaporator exit and a liquid at 110°F at the condenser exit. Pressure drops in the flows through the evaporator and condenser are negligible. The compression process is adiabatic, and the temperature at the compressor exit is 180°F. Determine (a) the mass...

Consider a commercial refrigerator which operates on the refrigeration cycle. R- 134a is used as the working uid and the refrigerated space is kept at -25oC by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at room temperature, that is 20oC, at a rate of 0.1 kg/s and leaves at 40oC. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 70oC and leaves at 40oC. The inlet state of the compressor is saturated vapor at 100 kPa...

Air enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 22°C, 0.1 MPa and exits at 7°C. Refrigerant 134a enters at 0.2 MPa, a quality of 0.21, and a mass flow rate of 30 kg/h. Refrigerant exits at 0°C. There is no significant change in pressure for either stream. (a) For the Refrigerant 134a stream, determine the rate of heat transfer, in kJ/h (b) For the refrigerant stream evaluate the change in flow exergy rate, in kJ/h. (c) For...

Air at 95°F, 1 atm, and 10% relative humidity enters an evaporative cooler operating at steady state. The volumetric flow rate of the incoming air is 1765 ft3/min. Liquid water at 68°F enters the cooler and fully evaporates. Moist air exits the cooler at 70°F, 1 atm. There is no significant heat transfer between the device and its surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. a)Determine the mass flow rate of the dry air in lb(dry air)/min....

Consider an air-cooled condenser in which a stream of R-134a enters at 12 bar and 60degC, and leaves as a saturated liquid at 12 bar, and air enters as a separate stream at 1 bar, 35degC and leaves at 1 bar, 45degC. The two streams do not mix but heat transfer from one stream to the other stream occurs at the rate of 6.94 kW. Determine (a) the mass flow rates for the R-134a and the air (kg/s), and (b)...
