Determine the mass flow rate of the refrigerant

Reference no: EM131348219

A large, two-stage, vapor-compression packing house refrigeration unit using R-134a produces 55.0 tons of refrigeration with an evaporator pressure of 80.0 kPa and a condenser pressure of 1.00 MPa. The intermediate flash chamber operates at 400. kPa and the isentropic efficiencies of the compressors in each loop are both 92.0%. The following operating specifications have been determined for the stages (loops):

Stage (Loop) A

Station 1A Compressor A inlet	Station 2sA Compressor A outlet	Station 3A Condenser A outlet	Station 4thA Expansion valve A outlet
P_1A = 400.kPa	P_2sA = 1.00MPa	X_3A = 0.00	H_4hA = h_3A
	S_2sA = S_1A	P_3A = 1.00MPa

Stage (Loop) B

Station 1B Compressor B inlet	Station 2sV Compressor B outlet	Station 3B Condenser B outlet	Station 4hB Expansion valve B outlet
X_1B = 1.00	P_2sB = 400.kPa	X_3B = 0.00	H_4hB = h_3B
P1B = 80.0kPa	S_2sB = S_1B	P_3B = 400.MPa

For this design, determine

a. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant.

b. The system's coefficient of performance.

c. The total power required by the compressor.
