A simple air cooled system is used for an aeroplane to take a load of 10 tons.
Atmospheric temperature and pressure is 25°C and 0.9 atm respectively. Due to
ramming the pressure of air is increased from 0.9 atm, to 1 atm. The pressure of air
leaving the main compressor is 3.5 atm and its 50% heat is removed in the air-cooled
heat exchanger and then it is passed through a evaporator for future cooling. The
temperature of air is reduced by 10°C in the evaporator. Lastly the air is passed
through cooling turbine and is supplied to the cooling cabin where the pressure is 1.03
atm. Assuming isentropic efficiency of the compressor and turbine are 75% and 70%,
find
a) Power required to take the load in the cooling cabin
b) COP of the system.
The temperature of air leaving the cabin should not exceed 25°C. (Solution)
7. True and False
1. COP of a Carnot system depends only on the refrigeration and heat rejection
temperatures only. (Answer)
2. As heat transfer from a gas can be done isothermally, Carnot cycle is easy to
implement practically. (Answer)
3. For a fixed heat rejection and refrigeration temperature, the COP of a brayton
cycle is lower than COP of reverse Carnot cycle. (Answer)
4. Efficiency of dense air systems are low as operating pressures are higher
(Answer)
5. DART is the temperature of the air at the exit of the cooling turbine. (Answer)
6. A Simple system is adequate to handle high Mach numbers. (Answer)

In an air-conditioning system, dry air flows over tubes carrying refrigerant R134a. The air is cooled by transferring heat to the R134a; the air enters with a volume flow rate of 0.75 m3 s–1 at 305 K and 100 kPa, and it exits at 290 K and 95 kPa. The R134a enters at 4 bar in a vapor-liquid coexistence state with a quality of 20%; it exits at 4 bar and 30 °C. Ignoring heat transfer at the outer surface...

An air conditioning system is to take outdoor air at 30 oC and 70% relative humidity at a steady rate of 10 m3/s and to condition it to 25 oC and 50% relative humidity. The outdoor air is first cooled down to 13.9 oC using cooling coil and then heated to the desired condition in the heating section. Assuming the air is at 1 atm pressure, Draw the air conditioning process on the attached psychometric chart. Determine the mass flow...

Water is boiled in a bowl and cooled in a room. The air temperature in the room is increasing linearly according to the function Ta(t) = 30 + 0.01t (t in minutes, T in ∘C. Assume that Newton's Law of Cooling is satisfied: the rate of change of the temperature of the water is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the environment. We take the temperature of the water after 10 minutes...

Air is cooled from 300 K to 273 K as it flows steadily through a duct. Frictional dissipation may be neglected. Cooling is achieved by removing heat via a heat pump. The work requirement is 1.15 times that of a reversible heat pump operating between 263 and 310 K. For each mole of air flowing through the duct, calculate: Air can be assumed an ideal gas with a constant heat capacity cP of 3.50R. The temperature of the surroundings is...
