Steam Jet Refrigeration: Answer
There is a 5.0 m3/s of vapor leaving the evaporator of vacuum refrigeration system. The
warm water enters the evaporator at 20C and make up water enters the evaporator at
31C. the evaporator has a temperature of 5C. Determine the refrigerating capacity.
ANSWER:
31C
20C
5C
V = 5.0 m3/s
h1 = hf @ 5C = 20.98 kj/kg
h4 = hf @ 31C = 129.948 kj/kg
h3 = hg @ 5C = 2510.54 kj/kg
v = vg @ 5C = 147.118 m3/kg
Z = V/v = 5/147.118 = 0.0339 kg/s
Q = Z(h3 h4) = 0.0339(2510.54 129.948)
= 80.7020 KW

An evaporator is maintained at 10C. Warm water the evaporator at 15C while make-up
water enters at 25C. Suppose the system is a steam jet refrigeration system having 35
tons capacity. Find the volume of vapor leaving the evaporator.
ANSWER:
10C
25C
15C
ANSWER:
5C
17C
25C,0.93kg/s
h1 = hf @ 5C = 20.98 kj/kg
h2 = hf @ 17C = 71.364 kj/kg
h3 = hg @ 5C = 2510.54 kj/kg
h4 = hf @ 25C = 104.87 kj/kg
Z = 0.93 kg/s
v = vf @ 25C = 0.0010014 m3/kg
Q = Z(h3 h4) = 0.93(2510.54 104.87)
= 22.3727 KW

There are removed 5.06 m3/s of vapor from the water evaporator of a vacuum
refrigeration system; the warm water enters the evaporator at 15 oC and chilled water
leaves at 11 oC; make-up water enters at 30oC. Determine the refrigerating capacity.
ANSWER:
v3 = vg@11oC = 100.6866 m3/kg
h3 = hg@11oC = 2521.574 kJ/kg
h4 = hf@30oC = 125.77 kJ/kg
z = V3 / v3
z = 5.06 / 100.6866
z = 0.050255 kg/s
Qa = z(h3 h4)
Qa = 0.050255 (2521.574 125.77)
Qa = 120.4 kW

In a steam jet refrigeration system, the evaporator is maintained at 5 oC. The chilled water
leaves at the same temperature and warms to 10 oC as it absorbs the load. Make-up water
is available at 25oC. For a capacity of 50 tons, determine (a) the quantity of chilled water
required, and (b) the volume of vapor removed. (a) Solving for quantity of chilled water
=m.
ANSWER:
for chilled water:
h1 = hf@5oC = 20.98 kJ/kg
for warm water:
h2 = hf@10oC = 41.99 kJ/kg
Qa = m (h2 h1)
