QUESTION 1
A two-stage cascade refrigeration system operating between the pressure limits of 1.2
MPa and 200 kPa with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. Heat rejection from the
lower cycle to the upper cycle takes place in an adiabatic counter-flow heat exchanger
where the pressure in the upper and lower cycles are 0.4 Mpa and 0.5 Mpa,
respectively. In both cycles, the refrigerant is a saturated liquid at the condenser exit
and a saturated vapor at the compressor inlet, and the isentropic efficiency of the
compressor is 80 percent. If the mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the upper
cycle is 0.212 kg/s, show the cycle on T-s diagram and determine:
a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the lower cycle [kg/s],
b) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space [kW], and

QUESTION 2
Air enters a 30-cm diameter cooling section at 1 atm, 35 oC, and 45 percent relative
humidity at 18 m/s. heat is removed from the air at a rate of 750 kJ/min. Determine
[Note: You need to use analytical equation and psychrometric chart to answer this
question. Please mark ‘X’ at the psychrometric chart properly to show the state. Show
all the value you obtained clearly].

QUESTION 4
Based on QUESTION 3, use the grand total heat as proposed cooling load to
construct a suitable ducting system for the private office. Air is to be supplied from
direct expansion with Fan Coil Unit (FCU) through a rectangular ducting system. The
air diffusers are of rectangular type with a rate of 600 CFM. The height of the
rectangular duct is fixed to 16 inch. Use equal friction method with hf = 0.1 in w.g./100ft
to design a suitable ducting system for the office area. The FCU is to be located at the
middle section of the width of the room. Maximum throw radius is 10 ft. Show the
schematic diagram for the propose air distribution system with the detail air flow rates
and the ducting sizes at each location. Show the detail calculation for each figure
used. Determine also the total friction loss due to friction (in w.g.).
