Q2 In a Bell Coleman refrigeration cycle, air is drawn from cold chamber at 1 bar and
compressed to 6 bar in the compressor. The compression and expansion indices are 1.25
and 1.30 respectively. Determine the COP and Tonnage of the unit for an air flow rate of
0.5 kg/sec. Neglect the clearance volume and take temperatures at the beginning of
compression and expansion to be 7 ?C and 37 ?C respectively.

Q3 Explain the desirable properties of common refrigerant used in refrigeration and air
conditioning systems.
Q4 Moist air at standard atmospheric pressure is passed over a cooling coil. The inlet state of
the air is 30? C DBT, 50% R.H. while the exit state is 15? C DBT and 80% R.H. Show the
process on the psychometric chart and determine amount of moisture and heat removed per
kg of dry air.
Q5 With the help of a neat sketch, explain the working of ammonia - water vapour absorption
refrigeration systems.
Q6 The following data refer to summer air-conditioning of a building: Outside design
conditions: 43? C DBT & 27? C WBT, Inside design conditions: 25? C DBT & 50% R.H,
Room sensible heat gain: 84000 kJ/hr, Room latent heat gain: 21000 kJ/hr. Bypass factor of
cooling coil used: 0.2, The return air from the room is mixed with the outside air before
entry to cooling coil in the ration of 4:1. Determine apparatus dew point of the cooling coil,
entry & exit conditions of air for cooling coil, fresh air mass flow rate, and refrigeration
load on the cooling coil.
SECTION-C
Q7 a) A Carnot refrigerator requires 1.25 kW/ TR to maintain a region at low temperature of
?40 ?C. Determine COP, higher temperature of cycle, heat rejected in kJ/min. Also
calculate the heat delivered and COP if this device is used as heat pump.
b) A freon ?22 refrigeration plant working between the temperature limits of 5 ?C &
40 ?C produces refrigeration capacity of 40 TR. What would be its capacity for food
freezing for which the evaporator temperature is to be maintained at ?35 ?C?
Q8 a) With the help of a neat sketch, explain the construction and working of steam jet
refrigeration system.
b) Explain industrial and comfort air conditioning and also distinguish between them.
Q9 a) A three-stage, 10-ton ammonia refrigeration system operates between the overall
pressure limits of 2 bar and 12 bar with flash inter-cooling. The flash inter-cooling
pressures are 4 bar and 8 bar. Find: Refrigerant flow rate through evaporator and the
intercoolers; the power required to run the system. Compare the COP of the system
with that of simple saturation cycle working between same overall pressure limits.
b) Explain the construction and working of shell and tube evaporator valve giving a neat
sketch.
