INTRODUCTION

In steam jet refrigeration systems, water can be used as the refrigerant. Like air, it is perfectly safe. These systems were applied successfully to refrigeration in the early years of this century. At low temperatures the saturation pressures are low (0.008129 bar at 4°C) and the specific volumes are high (157.3 m3/kg at 4°C). The temperatures that can be attained using water as a refrigerant are not low enough for most refrigeration applications but are in the range which may satisfy air conditioning, cooling, or chilling requirements. Also, these systems are used in some chemical industries for several processes, e.g. the removal of paraffin wax from lubricating oils. Note that steam jet refrigeration systems are not used when temperatures below 5°C are required. The main advantages of this system are the utilization of mostly low-grade energy

    The refrigeration system can be defined as a closed system in which the process of absorbing and rejecting heat is performed by flowing a refrigerant in a vapor compression cycle. In its simplest form, the refrigeration system consists of five components: the compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion device, and interconnecting piping.…

    Background: Distillation consists of heating a liquid until it vaporizes, and then condensing the vapor and collecting it in a separate container. Distillation is used to separate mixtures of liquids that either have different boiling points, or that have one component that does not distill. There are many types of distillation, each of which has a distinct purpose. Steam distillation is used to isolate volatile substances that have high boiling points. When two immiscible liquids are distilled together, the amounts of each component in the distillate are constant. Also, the boiling point of the mixture is lower than that of either of the individual components. This is because the components do not have compatible intermolecular forces, and so the component in lesser concentration will form “bubbles”, like oil droplets in water, weakening the overall intermolecular forces in the mixture, and thus lowering the boiling point. This process allows high- boiling compounds, which can decompose before they boil if heated alone, to be distilled at temperatures below 100°C. Once the liquid mixture is heated to its boiling point, the liquid is converted to vapor. The vapors, richer in a more volatile component, are then condensed into a separate container.…

    4. Steam is the working fluid in an ideal reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the first-stage turbine at 8.0 MPa, 480oC, and expands to 0.7 MPa. It is then reheated to 440oC before entering the secondstage turbine, where it expands to the condenser pressure of 0.008 MPa. The net power output is 100 MW. Determine (a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, (b) the mass flow rate of steam, in kg/h, (c) the rate of heat transfer out from the condensing steam as it passes through the condenser, in MW. Discuss the effects of reheat on the vapor power…

    At high sustained temperatures, natural aromatic compounds can easily be decomposed after being evaporated. Thus, eugenol can be easily decomposed at atmospheric boiling point. In order to prevent this from occurring, the boiling point of the compound should be lowered. In steam distillation process, the boiling point are lowered by the addition of water in an partially vacuumed container, through Raoult’s Law. Eugenol and water has different vapor pressure. Water has a vapor pressure of 760 mmHg while Eugenol has a vapor pressure of 4 mmHg. Thus, the total vapor pressure in the closed system is 764 mmHg, resulting in lower boiling point. Using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation(ln (P1 / P2) = (ΔH / R) (1/T2 - 1/T1)), the boiling point of the…

    There is also a liquid force from the liquid line, which acts on the face of the needle valve and has a tendency to open the valve. However, this force is cancelled out when using a balanced port TXV. Working together, these forces maintain a constant evaporator superheat in a refrigeration system. There are no electronic devices associated with a conventional TXV.…

    The heat that remains in the engine block need to be absorbed, transported and dissipated to protect the metal components from deforming or even melting. Therefore, the cooling system will used to prevent the deforming of metal parts or melting of metal components. In this cooling process, a liquid gets circulated throughout the engine. We have to use a liquid that can absorb all that heat. A homogeneous mixture consisting of a solute and a solvent based on colligative properties, which means solution’s properties will differ depend on the proportion of solute present. Solutions have both a lower freezing point and a higher boiling point than pure solvent. The more solute is present the bigger the difference between the freezing point and the boiling point. To explain furthermore, we need to understand that temperature is the measure of the particle’s average…
