Question

Instructions by student: Design a vapor-compression refrigeration system using r134a capable of cooling a space to a temperature of - 25 °C with a lifting capacity of 10 kW. The system

must be able to reject heat to surroundings with a maximum temperature of 40 °C. The maximum pressure ratio across a compressor is 5 with an isentropic efficiency of 90%. Determine a) the heat rejected at the condenser and b) the refrigeration system's coefficient of performance (COP). Bonus, demonstrate you have developed a design which maximizes performance under the prescribed conditions (10 pts). In EEs
