A refrigeration cycle uses Freon-12 as the working fluid. The temperature of the refrigerant in the evaporator is – 10°C. The condensing temperature is 40°C. The cooling load is 150 W and the volumetric efficiency of the compressor is 80%. The speed of the compressor is 720 r.p.m. Calculate the mass flow rate of the refrigerant and the displacement volume of the compressor.
Properties of Freon-12
