Subjec No.: AG60123 Sub Name: Cooling Technology in Food Processing &Preservation Number of students: 10 Time: 2 Hrs Marks: 30 QL. Distinguish with the help of T-s diagram between a Carnot refrigeration cycle and a reverse Carnot reftigeration cycle. Prove that no refrigeration system can have a COP greater than that for a reversible cycle working between the same two temperatures of sink Ty and receiver Ty. 1343] Q2. Ina reversed Camot refrigeration system of 1 TR cooling capacity running on a perfect gas, heat is absorbed at ~ 10 °C and rejected at 50 °C. Find the states at all the points of the cycle, heat transfer and work done in all the processes, mass flow rate, volume flow rates and the COP. The maximum pressure at inlet to the isentropic compression is standard atmospheric pressure. The compression ratio is, 5. Assume, Cp = 1.005 kJ (kg K)", R = 0.287 kJ (kg K)", and v= 1.4. {6 3. What are the practical difficulties of Camot refrigeration cycle and how can it be obecome? (6) Q4. Write short notes on (any two) (3+3] @ Entropy Gi Evaporative cooling (iii) Cascade reftigeration (iv) Coefficient of performance QS. What are the properties of air required for psychromatrics? ‘Air has a dew point of 40 °C and a RH of 50%, Determine (a) the absolute humidity, (b) the dry bulb temperature, and (c) the wet bulb temperature. Air in a house has a wet bulb temperature of 54°C and a dry bulb temperature of 71 °C. Determine (1) the humidity, (2) the dew point, (3) the percentage of relative humidity. Show on paper, how you obtained the values. [142.542.5]
