(1) Given that T1 = 270 K and T3 = 313 K and the working substance is
air, find the COP if the rp = 3.155 and the compressor and turbine
efficiencies are same and equal to (I) 1.0, (ii) 0.99, (iii) 0.9 and (iii) 0.8

(2) In a gas cycle refrigeration system working on Joule cycle, the outlet
temperature from the cold space is 270 K and the temperature at inlet
to turbine is 318 K. The pressure ratio is 4.0. Determine the mass flow
rate, heat rejection, compressor work, turbine work, COP and the
volume flow rates at inlet to compressor and at outlet of turbine for a
system of 1 TR cooling capacity. The working substance is air.

(3) If in problem 2 the isentropic compressor and turbine efficiencies are


0.8 and 0.85 respectively, then determine all the parameters of problem
2.

(4) In a gas cycle refrigeration system working on Joule cycle, the outlet
temperature from the cold space is 270 K and the temperature at inlet
to turbine is 313 K. rp =3.87 if the working substance is air. The
compressor and turbine isentropic efficiencies are 0.8 and 0.85
respectively. Determine the temperatures at compressor and turbine
outlets, mass flow rate, compressor work, turbine work and volume flow
rates.
(5) In a gas cycle refrigeration system working on Joule cycle, the
temperature from the cold space is 270 K and the temperature at inlet
to turbine is 313 K. The compressor and turbine isentropic efficiencies
are 0.8 and 0.85 respectively. The pressure drop in the air-cooler is 3%
of pressure and in the refrigerator, it is 5% of the pressure. The pressure
ratio is 3.3297. The working substance is air. Also determine the
temperatures at compressor and turbine exit, mass flow rate,
compressor work, turbine work and volume flow rates for 1 TR cooling
capacity.

pressure ratio is 2.0. The ambient temperature T3 and the temperature
at the exit of refrigerator T5 are 313 K and 270 K respectively. The
temperature difference at both the ends of heat exchanger between the
warm and cold fluids is 3 K. For 1 TR refrigeration capacity, determine
the mass flow rate, compressor work, turbine work and COP if (i) the
turbine and compressor efficiencies are 0.85 and 0.8 respectively and (ii)
if both the efficiencies are 0.9.
(7) An aircraft is flying at a speed of 1000 km/h. The ambient
temperature and pressure are –15oC and 0.35 bar respectively. The
compressor and turbine and ram efficiencies are 0.8, 0.85 and 0.85
respectively. The pressure ratio of the compressor is 5.0. The heat
exchanger effectiveness is 0.8 and the pressure drop in the heat
exchanger is 0.1 bar. The cabin pressure is 1.06 bar, and the air leaves
the cabin at 25oC. Assuming simple aircraft air conditioning cycle, find
the temperature and pressure at various state points, COP, mass flow
rate, ram work, compressor work, expander work and volume flow rates
at turbine and compressor outlets for a 1 TR capacity plant.
(9) A better heat exchanger replaces the heat exchanger in problem 8,
such that the compressed air leaves it at a temperature 10oC more than
that of ram air, which provides the cooling. The pressure drop in heat
exchanger is negligible. All other parameters being the same as in
problem 8, find the parameters of problem 8

conditioning system. The ambient temperature and pressure are –15oC
and 0.35 bar respectively. The compressor and turbine and ram
efficiencies are 0.8, 0.85 and 0.85 respectively. The pressure at aircraft
compressor discharge is 2.0 bar. if the effectiveness of the main and
auxiliary heat exchangers is 0.85 and 0.9 respectively. The cabin pressure
is 1.06 bar and air the leaves cabin at 25oC. Find the temperature and

work, auxiliary compressor work and expander work for 1 TR capacity.
