Answer

a) $\dot{Q}=5.17\ kW$ b) $\Delta T=-6.9°C$

Work Step by Step

Given data $h_1=220.2\ kJ/kg,\ v_1 = 0.0253\ m3/kg,\ h_2= 398.0\ kJ/kg$ For the refrigerant ($\dot{V}_1=2.65\ L/h$): $\dot{m}_1=\dot{V}_1/v_1$ $\dot{m}_1=0.0291\ kg/s$ $\dot{Q}+\dot{m}_1h_1=\dot{m}_1h_2$ So $\dot{Q}=5.17\ kW$ For the air $\dot{m}_3=0.75\ kg/s,\ c_p=1.005\ kJ/kg.K$: $\dot{Q}=-\dot{m}_3c_p\Delta T$ $\Delta T=-6.9°C$
