A standard refrigeration cycle is to be used in the production of a

continuous supply of chilled water at a temperature of 10oC and
at a rate of 25 kg/s. The process is shown. The refrigerant is
H2O. Saturated steam at 0.008 bar at point 2 enters an
adiabatic compressor of 80% efficiency based on isentropic
operation and is compressed to 0.07 bar at point 3, from which
it enters a condenser. It emerges at point 1 as a saturated liquid
, heat Q being discharged to the surroundings at 27oC. The
liquid flashes through a valve which acts as a throttle to reduce
pressure to 0.008 bar. The remaining liquid is vaporized
through the evaporator and by heat exhange with the
evaporating refrigerant is cooled from its feed temp of 10oC to
27oC. Determine the flow rate of refrigerant and rate of heat
rejection to the surroundings. Do a thermo analysis of the
process.
