Question Paper

1. Choose the correct answer from the given four alternatives:

Which of the following does not change during a throttling process?

Enthalpy

Entropy

Volume

Pressure

In an aircraft refrigeration system, the pressure at the cooling turbine outlet is equal to

ambient pressure

cabin pressure

pressure at compressor inlet

None of the above

In a refrigerator plant, if the condenser temperature increases, the power input to the compressor will

decrease

increase

remain the same

be unpredictable

In a vapour compression system, the working fluid is superheated vapour at entrance to

evaporator

condenser

compressor

expansion valve

When a liquid boils at constant pressure, the following parameter increases:

Temperature

Latent heat of vaporization

Kinetic energy

Entropy

In an ideal refrigeration (reversed Carnot) cycle, the condenser and evaporator temperature are 27°C and' -13°C respectively. The COP of this cycle would be

6·5

7·5

10·5

15·0

The refrigerant used for absorption refrigerators working on heat from solar collectors is a mixture of water and

Carbon dioxide

Sulphur dioxide

Lithium bromide

Freon-12

Explain the working principle of vapour compression refrigeration system with the help of a block diagram.

What are the effects of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) on the environment? How do they affect the ozone layer?

Derive the expression for the maximum COP of a vapour absorption refrigeration system.

Determine the ideal COP of an absorption refrigeration system in which the heating, cooling and refrigeration take place at 197°C, 17°C and respectively.

What is the difference between "Wet Compression" and "Dry Compression"?

Give the comparison between a vapour compression refrigeration system and vapour absorption refrigeration system.

5. A refrigerating system operates on the reversed Carnot cycle. The higher temperature of the refrigerant in the system is 35°C and the lower temperature is -15°C. The capacity is to be 12 tonnes. Neglect all losses.

Determine:

Coefficient of performance

Heat rejected from the system per hour

Power required

6. Define the COP of a refrigerator. What is a heat pump How does it differ from a refrigerator Also derive the relation of COP between Heat Pump and Refrigerator.

State and explain the Clausius' statement of the second law of thermodynamics.

Show that Integral dQ/T=0 for a reversible cycle.

8. Write short notes on any two of the following

Properties of refrigerants

Effect of superheating on the performance of vapour compression refrigeration system

Expansion valve

Defrosting
