The isentropic efficiency of an ammonia, NH3, refrigeration plant is 0.88. The ammonia enters the compressor as dry saturated vapour at -16 ? and leaves the compressor in a superheated state at 11.67 bar. The refrigerant is then condensed and undercooled by 4K at constant pressure before being expanded at -16 ?. (NEED TO USE STEAM TABLES FOR NH3, PLEASE ONLY ANSWER IF YOU HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF REFRIGERTION) a)Draw a schematic of the plant and the cycle on...
