A refrigeration cycle operates with a compressor that takes in vapor at 25°C and compresses it to 100°C. If the ambient temperature is 35°C, calculate the COP assuming ideal conditions.
💡 Hint: Recall that the higher the work input, the lower the COP.
A cascade refrigeration system uses R-404A in the high-temperature side, and R-23 in the low-temperature side. Discuss the benefits of using different refrigerants in a cascade system and their implications on system design.
💡 Hint: Think about temperature compatibility and pressure management.
