Question

While doing a performance test on the air-conditioning system of a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, the gauge readings are within specifications. The customer's complaint is that the discharge of air is warm. What other components can cause this problem?

An automobile air conditioner uses refrigerant-134a as the cooling fluid. The evaporator operates at $100 \mathrm{kPa}$ gage and the condenser operates at 1.5 MPa gage. The compressor requires a power input of $6 \mathrm{~kW}$ and has an isentropic efficiency of 85 percent. Atmospheric air at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 60 percent relative humidity enters the evaporator and leaves at $8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 90 percent relative humidity. Determine the volume flow rate of the atmospheric air entering the evaporator of the air conditioner, in $\mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{min}$.

The air conditioner in a car uses $R-134 a$, and the compressor power input is $1.5 \mathrm{kW}$, bringing the R-134a from 201.7 kPa to 1200 kPa by compression. The cold space is a heat exchanger that cools $30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ atmospheric air from the outside down to $10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and blows it into the car. What is the mass flow rate of the $\mathrm{R}-134 \mathrm{a}$, and what is the low-temperature heat-transfer rate? What is the mass flow rate of air at $10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ?

00:01 All right guys, in order to answer this question, it is required to determine the airflow in an automobile air conditioner.
00:08 The system uses r134a as a working fluid.
00:12 The evaporator operates at 100 kioskal gauge pressure and the condenser operate at 1 .5 megapascal gauge pressure.
00:21 The compressor consumes 6 kilowatts of electrical power operating at 85 % isontropic efficiency.
00:29 The air enters the system at 25 degrees centigrade at relative humidity of 60 % and leaves at 8 degrees centigrade with relative humidity of 90%.
00:42 So the absolute pressure of the elevators and the condenser is pe is equal to 100 kioskal plus 100 kilopascal and that is equal to 200 kilopascal.
00:58 So pc is equal to 100 kilopascal plus 1 .5 megapascal and that is equal to 1 ,600 kilo -pascal.
01:14 So the state just before the condenser is state 1 and can be read from figure a14, that is h1 is equal to 400 kilojoules per kg.
01:25 And s1 is equal to 1 .74 kjoules per kg.
01:33 Now the state 2 is the state the compressor would compress if the process was isentropic.
01:42 It has the same entropy as the 0 .1 and has the pressure pc from the same table as we read before.
01:50 So h2 dash is equal to 445 kilojoules per kg.
01:59 Now the real specific enthalpy added to the fluid that is h2 minus h1 is equal to h2 dash minus h1 divided by eta isentropic...
