The power produced by the engine is the work per cycle multiplied by the rate at which the engine executes a cycle. Note the crank mechanism (see diagram) must undergo 2 revolutions to complete 1 thermodynamic cycle. There are also 4 cylinders at work. Btu rev cyc min hp W eng = ( ) (4 cyl) (2800 ) [1 ] [1 ] [1.415 cyl cyc min W eng = hp 2 rev 60 s btu/s ] Discussion Using the relative volume ratio aids quick calculations. Although convenient it is important to understand the physics being employed. v r is derived from the Tds equation for an ideal gas undergoing an isentropic process. If these conditions are not met, or if v r data is unavailable, one can always revert back to the general Tds property relations

11 H8.6 (Ch 10) Consider a vapor compression refrigeration cycle operating at steady-state with Refrigerant 134a as the working fluid. Saturated vapor enters the compressor (state 1) and saturated liquid exits the condenser. The temperature of the cooled region is T c = 4, which is 10 greater than the evaporator temperature. The temperature of the environment is T h = 40, which is 10 lower than the temperature of the refrigerant leaving the condenser. The compressor isentropic efficiency is 85%. The mass flow rate of refrigerant is 7.5 kg/min. Determine: a. evaporator and condenser pressures [bar] b. compressor power input [kw] c. refrigeration capacity [tons] d. coefficient of performance Given Data Model Diagram State 1: Saturated vapor (x 1 = 1) Refrigerant 134a State 3: Saturated liquid (x 3 = 0) Vapor compression refrigeration cycle T c = 4 = K Steady state T h = 40 = K Uniform 1D fluid properties T 4 = T 1 = 6 = K Nelect KE and PE effects T 3 = 50 = K η c = 0.85 T m = 7.5 kg/min = kg/s T h Q out W in Governing Equations dm cv dt = i m i e m e η c = (W /m ) s (W /m ) = h 2s h 1 h 2 h 1 β = Q in W in de cv dt T h T c = Q in Q out + W in W out + i m i(h i + 1 V 2 i 2 + gz i ) i m e(h e + 1 V 2 e 2 + gz e ) s T c Q in Analysis a. Determine the evaporator and condenser pressures [bar] Evaporators and condensers are modeled as constant pressure heat exchangers. States 1 and 3 are on the saturation curve where pressure and temperature are dependent properties. From Table A10 p evap = p 4 = p 1 = p sat (T 1 ) and p cond = p 2 = p 3 = p sat (T 3 ) p evap = p sat ( 6 ) = bar and p cond = p sat (50 ) = bar b. Determine the compressor power input [kw] State 1: Fixed by saturated vapor at T 1 = K From Table A10: s 1 = s g1 = kj/kg K and h 1 = h g1 = kj/kg

12 State 2s: Fixed by the isentropic process (s 2s = s 1 ) to p 2 From Table A12 (2D interpolation in p and s) h 2s 283 kj/kg State 3: Fixed by saturated liquid at T 3 = 50 = K From Table A10 h 3 = kj/kg The refrigerant undergoes an expansion process as it flows through the valve. Consider conservation of energy across the expansion valve. de cv dt = Q in Q out + W in W out + i m i(h i + 1 V 2 i 2 + gz i ) i m e(h e + 1 V 2 e 2 + gz e ) 0 = m (h 3 h 4 ) h 4 = h 3 State 4: Fixed by h 4 = h 3 and p 4 = p 1 The isentropic efficiency is a measure of the irreversibilities present in the compressor and can be used to relate the actual state 2 to the ideal isentropic state 2s. η c = (W in/m ) s (W in/m ) = h 2s h 1 h 2 h 1 W in/m = (W in/m ) s η c W in/m = h 2s h 1 η c W in = m (h 2s h 1 ) η c = (0.125 W in = kw kg kj kj )( s kg kg ) 0.85 c. Determine the refrigeration capacity, Q in, in [tons]. Apply conservation of energy to the evaporator, de cv dt = Q in Q out + W in W out + i m i(h i + 1 V 2 i 2 + gz i ) i m e(h e + 1 V 2 e 2 + gz e ) Q 0 = Q in + m 4h 4 m 1h 1 in = m (h 1 h 4 ) = (0.125 kg kj kj ) ( ) [ s kg kg Q in = 4.34 tons 1 ton ] [ 60 s ] 211 kj/min 1 min

13 d. Coefficient of performance β = Q in kw = W in kw = 2.65 β = 2.65 Discussion Irreversibilities are present in the compressor. These irreversibilties are accounted for by the isentropic efficiency and reduce the overall performance β.
