Problem 6.34:
You are designing a refrigeration cycle that will absorb 100 W of heat at - 10 °F. The cycle will use ammonia as the refrigerant in a standard vapor compression cycle. Its condenser will be cooled by air, assumed to be at 80 °F. Calculate the energy balances, determine the flow rate of the refrigerant, and calculate the entropy generation. Assume a 10 °F temperature between streams in the heat exchangers and a compressor efficiency of 80%.
