Q3. To attain a high coefficient of performance, the compressor operating pressure ratio should be_______________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: B. low
To attain a high coefficient of performance, the compressor operating pressure ratio across the system should be kept low. A low pressure ratio minimizes the specific work input required by the compressor to achieve the...
Q4. One ton of refrigeration capacity is defined as_________________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: C. the refrigeration effect to freeze 1 ton of water at 0°C into ice at 0°C in 24 hours
One ton of refrigeration capacity equals the cooling effect of melting one short ton of ice. This standard process takes place continuously over a twenty four hour operational period. The latent heat of fusion for ice go...
Q5. Select the correct statement describing heat rejection between mediums in an ammonia absorption system?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: B. weak solution to strong solution
In ammonia absorption systems, heat rejection occurs as weak solution absorbs ammonia vapor. Absorbing ammonia vapor into the weak solution forms a strong solution mixture. This absorption process releases heat that must...
Q6. How does the mass flow ratio of NH3 compare to Freon-12 under identical refrigeration load and temperature conditions___________________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: B. 1 : 9
Ammonia has a much higher latent heat of vaporization compared to Freon-12 under identical conditions. Higher latent heat means less mass flow rate of ammonia is needed for the same cooling load. This distinct thermodyna...
