An ordinary vapor compression cycle using propane operates at temperatures of 240 K in the cold heat
Question:
An ordinary vapor compression cycle using propane operates at temperatures of 240 K in the cold heat exchanger, and 280 K in the hot heat exchanger. How much work is required per kg of propane circulated if the compressor is 80% efficient? What cooling capacity is provided per kg of propane circulated? How is the cooling capacity per kg of propane affected by lowering the pressure of the hot heat exchanger, while keeping the cold heat exchanger pressure the same?
