Q:

Find out the value of C.O.P. for the given values of enthalpies.
h1 = 1126.25 kJ/kg
h4 = 250.25 kJ/kg
W = 120 kJ/kg

A) 5.3 B) 6.3
C) 7.3 D) 8.3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 7.3

Explanation: Refrigerating effect = h1 ? h4 = 1126.25 ? 250.25 = 876 kJ/kg
Work = 120 kJ/kg
C.O.P. = Refrigerating effect / Work done
= 876 / 120
= 7.3.

Q:

What is the main function of an expansion valve?

A) Reduce the refrigerant pressure B) Maintain high and low side pressures
C) Protect evaporator D) Control the velocity of flow of refrigerants
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Maintain high and low side pressures

Explanation: Expansion valve mainly increases or decreases the flow of refrigerants, which directly affects the increase and decrease in the pressures.

Q:

Which of the following is not the criterion for the selection of the condenser?

A) The capacity of the condenser B) Type of refrigerant used
C) Type of cooling medium available D) Type of compressor and evaporator used
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Type of compressor and evaporator used

Explanation: For the selection of the condenser, there is no effect of the type of compressor and evaporator used in the system. The capacity, type of refrigerant used, and type of cooling medium available play a crucial role in the selection.

Q:

The C.O.P. of reverse Carnot cycle is most strongly dependent on which of the following?

A) Evaporator temperature B) Condenser temperature
C) Specific heat D) Refrigerant
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Evaporator temperature

Explanation: The C.O.P in the reverse Carnot cycle generally depends on the higher of the two temperatures, as it is located in the numerator of C.O.P equation and responsible directly for increase or decrease in C.O.P.

Q:

Which of the following is not an advantage of vapor compression cycle over reversed Carnot cycle?

A) It’ COP and refrigeration effect can’t be increased B) Use of expansion valve reduces the size and cost of plant
C) It is a practical cycle on which plant can be built D) Wet compression of Carnot cycle is avoided
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) It’ COP and refrigeration effect can’t be increased

Explanation: It’ COP and refrigeration effect can be increased by use of superheated vapor at entry of compressor. The advantages are use of expansion valve reduces the size and cost of plant, it is a practical cycle on which plant can be built and wet compression of Carnot cycle is avoided.

Q:

During humidification process the dry bulb temperature ___________

A) increases B) decreases
C) tends to zero D) remains the same
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) remains the same

Explanation: During the humidification process, DBT remains the same as the increase is in specific humidity and relative humidity. As the process is vertical on chart keeping DBT constant.
