THERMODYNAMICS TUTORIAL 5 heat PUMPS AND REFRIGERATION On completion of this TUTORIAL you should be able to do the following. Discuss the merits of different refrigerants. Use thermodynamic tables for common refrigerants. Define a reversed heat engine. Define a refrigerator and heat pump. Define the coefficient of performance for a refrigerator and heat pump. Explain the vapour compression cycle. Explain modifications to the basic cycle. Sketch cycles on a pressure - enthalpy diagram. Sketch cycles on a temperature - entropy diagram. Solve problems involving isentropic efficiency. Explain the cycle of a reciprocating compressor. Define the volumetric efficiency of a reciprocating compressor.
A heat pump uses a vapour compression cycle with refrigerant 12. The compressor is driven by a heat engine with a thermal efficiency of 40%. Heat removed from the engine in the cooling system is recovered. This amounts to 40% of the energy supplied in the fuel. The heat pump cycle uses an ideal cycle with an evaporator at 5oC and a condenser
