3.2 SAMPLE CALCULATION

Energy Transfer Analysis Calculations

By using data at Table 1, the calculations of the parameters below using equations based on
enthalpy at load of 45%.

a) Specific Refrigeration Duty, q 4−1

q 4−1 = h1 − h4 + w , where w = 0
= 280 − 140
q 4−1 = 140 kJ/kg

b) Specific Compressor Work, w1−2

w1−2 = h1 − h2
= 280 − 360
w1−2 = −80 kJ/kg
 c) Specific Heat Rejected from Condenser, q 2−3
q 2−3 = h3 − h2 + 𝑤 , where w = 0
= 140 − 360
q 2−3 = −220 kJ/kg

Calculations of Rate of Heat Rejection and Rate of Heat Absorbed

From the data on Table 1, the Rate of Heat for both rejection and absorbed for load at 30% are
calculated by using energy transfer analysis formula.

ṁ = 0.07831
s

b) Rate of Heat Rejection, Q̇2−3 = Q̇c

Q̇2−3 = ṁ(h3 − h2 )
= 0.07831(140 − 360)
Q̇2−3 = −27.1 kW
c) Rate of Heat Absorbed, Q̇4−1 = Q̇e
Q̇4−1 = ṁ(h1 − h4 )
= 0.07831(280 − 140)
Q̇4−1 = 10.96 kW

d) Power Requirement, ẇc = P

ẇc= P = ṁ(h1 − h2)

= 0.07831(280 − 360)

ẇc = -6.26 kW
