Question

A refrigeration system is designed to cool 10,000 lb per hour of water from 60 deg F to 40 deg F . Operating conditions necessitate a condenser pressure of 160 psia . If the load is divided evenly between two simple saturation systems , both operating with 165 psia discharge pressure , but one with 35 deg F evaporator and the other with 45 deg F , determine the required horsepower A) 4.1 B) 2.3 C) 7.4 D) 5.4

Step 1

First, we need to find the heat load (Q) that needs to be removed from the water. We can use the formula Q = m * C * ΔT, where m is the mass flow rate, C is the specific heat capacity of water, and ΔT is the temperature difference. Show more…
