A refrigerator unit working on Bell Coleman cycle takes air from cold chamber at -10 °C and compresses it from 1 bar to 6.5 bar with index of compression being 1.2. The compressed air is cooled to a temperature of 25 °C before it is expanded in the expander where the index of expansion is 1.35, determine,

a. COP

b. Quantity of air circulated per minute for production of 2000 kg of ice per day at 0 °C from water at 20 °C

c. Capacity of the plant in tons of refrigeration Assume, C₂ = 1 kJ/kg k for air.

A Carnot refrigerator requires 1.1 kw per tome of refrigeration to maintain a region at

An air refrigerator works between pressure limits of 1 bar and 4 bar. The temperature of the air entering the compressor is 15 °C and entering the expansion cylinder is 30 °C. The expansion follows the law PV^1.25= constant. The compression follows the law PV^1.35 = constant. Take for air, Cp = 1 kJ/kg k and Cv = 0.7 kJ/kg k. Find the following

a. COP of the refrigeration cycle

b. If the air circulation through the system is 25 kg/min, find the refrigeration capacity of the system
