(c) A refrigerator utilizing R-12 refrigerant works between temperature limits of -10°C and 30°C. It uses the single acting reciprocating compressor of 20 cm diameter and 15 cm stroke length. The compressor runs at 500 rpm with volumetric efficiency of 85%. If refrigerant is subcooled by 8 °C after condenser and superheated upto -2 °C before compressor then 1) draw the complete cycle on p-h, T-s charts, and determine using R-12 chart 2) volume flow rate per minute 3) mass of refrigerant per minute 4) cooling capacity in TR 5) COP 6) Percentage decrease in COP compare to Carnot refrigerator for same limits. [07]
Q.2 (a) Categorize different types of loads acting in restaurants. [03]
(b) Explain the method to designate halocarbon and inorganic refrigerants also give one example of both. [04]
(c) Explain regenerative air refrigeration system with schematic and T-s plot. [07]

(b) Define specific humidity, dew point temperature and wet bulb depression. [03]
(c) Two air streams mix in an adiabatic chamber at standard pressure. The DBT and WBT of first stream are 15°C and 13°C whereas for second stream are 25°C and 18°C respectively. If volume flow ratio of first to second stream is 2.5 and first stream flows with 30cmm then determine mass flow rate, specific humidity, DBT and WBT of air mixture. [07]
