In a surface condenser a section of the tubes near to the air pump suction is
screened off so that the air is cooled to a temperature below that of the condensate, separate extraction
pumps being provided to deal with air and condensate respectively. 5448 kg of steam are condensed
per hour and the air leakage is 4.54 kg/h. The temperature of the exhaust steam is 31°C, the temperature
of the condensate is 27°C, and the temperature at the air pump suction is 21.1°C. Assuming a constant
vacuum throughout the condenser, find
() The mass of steam condensed per hour in the air cooler;
(i) The volume of air in m3/h to be dealt with by the air pump;
(ii) The percentage reduction in necessary air pump capacity following the cooling of the air..

Refrigerant-134a enters the condenser of a residential heat pump at 900 kPa and 65oC at a rate of 0.018 kg/s and leaves at 750 kPa subcooled by 2oC. The refrigerant enters the compressor at 200 kPa superheated by 3oC. Determine (a) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor in decimal (up to two decimals), (b) the rate of heat supplied to the heated room, and (c) the COP of the heat pump. Also determine (d) the COP if this heat pump...

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...
