A vapour compression refrigeration system works between the pressures of 4.98 bar and 1.86 bar. The vapour is superheated at the end of compression, its temperature being 25°C. The liquid is sub cooled to 9°C before throttling. The vapor is 95% dry before compression. Using the data given below find COP of the refrigerator. The specific heat at constant pressure of superheated vapor is 0.65kJ/kgK and that of liquid is 0.97 kJ/kgK.

A centrifuagal fan with 90cm X70cm outlet is moving standard air at a rate of 11.5m3/s through a system which consists of straight inlet and outlet ducts. The inlet duct is 90cm in diameter and 15m long. The outlet duct is 100cm in diameter and 60m long. There is a fan diffuser between the fan discharge and the 100cm diameter duct for which thepressure loss is one third the difference in velocity pressures. The pressure drop at the filter, damper and cooling coil (AC apparatus) in the inlet duct is 150 Pa. The loss at the entry to the inlet0.5× velocity pressure. The friction factor for the outlet duct is 0.0035 and that for the inlet duct is 0.004. Determine the fan total pressure. The air is sucked in by the inlet duct and delivered by the outlet at atmospheric pressure.
