COACHING DISCUSSION
• Calculate the available energy
in BTU/lb for a Carnot cycle
with a source temperature of
3460R, a sink temperature 520R.
AE = 85 Btu/lb
Reduction AE = 11.5 Btu/lb
• The heat losses from a group of
compartment have been determined to be
420,000 Btu/hr.
609 Btu/lb-ft^2 F
• A Split shaft gas turbine has its power unit
receiving
RE = 56.52 BTU/lb
Capacity of Plant = 6.5 tons
COP = 7.99
• A cooling plant using Freon –
12
RE = 54.48 Btu/lb
COP = 4.91
• A simplified line diagram and TS plot
Q = 4789.2 Btu/min
Wnet = 40.45 hp
REF = 23.95 tons
• An ideal Freon 12 refregirating system
RE = 47.86 BTU/lb
Plant Cap. = 7.18 Tons
Power req to compressed refrigerant =
10.66 hp
Plant COP = 3.17
• In an ideal( Revered Joule Cycle)
