UNIT-I
1. Attempt any two of the following questions.
a) Discuss the advantages of the dense air refrigerating system over an open-air 06
refrigeration system
b) Derive an equation for C.O.P. of a Bell-Coleman cycle refrigeration system. 06
c) A refrigerator working on Bell-Coleman cycle operates between pressure limits of 06
1.05 bar & 8.5 bar. Air is drawn from the cold chamber at 10oC, compressed &
then it is cooled to 30oC before entering the expansion cylinder. The expansion &
compression follows the law pv1.3 = constant. Determine the theoretical C.O.P. of
the system
UNIT-II
2. Attempt any two of the following questions.
a) Sketch the T-s and p-h diagrams for the vapour compression cycles when the 06
vapour after compression is i) dry saturated, and (ii) wet.
b) Discuss the relative merits and demerits of flash and water intercooling employed 06
with multiple compression.
c) How does an actual vapour compression cycle differ from that of a theoretical 06
cycle?
UNIT-III
3. Attempt any two of the following questions.
a) Explain Lithium-Bromide refrigeration system with sketch. 06
b) Explain with neat sketch a practical vapor absorption refrigeration system. 06
c) Draw a neat diagram of Electrolux Refrigerator and explain its working. 06
