Power Required for Refrigeration System Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Power Required = ((Mass of Air*Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure*(Actual End Temp of Isentropic Compression-Actual Temperature of Rammed Air))/60)
P_req = ((ma*C_p*(Tt^'-T2^'))/60)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Power Required - (Measured in Watt) - Power Required is the energy needed to operate an air refrigeration system, typically measured in watts or kilowatts, to cool a given amount of air.
Mass of Air - (Measured in Kilogram per Minute) - Mass of Air is the amount of air present in a refrigeration system, which affects the cooling performance and overall efficiency of the system.
Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of air in refrigeration systems by one degree Celsius.
Actual End Temp of Isentropic Compression - (Measured in Kelvin) - Actual End Temp of Isentropic Compression is the final temperature of air at the end of an isentropic compression process in air refrigeration systems.
Actual Temperature of Rammed Air - (Measured in Kelvin) - Actual temperature of Rammed Air is the temperature of air after it has been compressed and cooled in an air refrigeration system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass of Air: 120 Kilogram per Minute --> 120 Kilogram per Minute No Conversion Required
Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure: 1.005 Kilojoule per Kilogram per K --> 1005 Joule per Kilogram per K (Check conversion here)
Actual End Temp of Isentropic Compression: 350 Kelvin --> 350 Kelvin No Conversion Required
Actual Temperature of Rammed Air: 273 Kelvin --> 273 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_req = ((ma*C_p*(Tt^'-T2^'))/60) --> ((120*1005*(350-273))/60)

Evaluating ... ...

P_req = 154770

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

154770 Watt -->9286.19999999998 Kilojoule per Minute (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

9286.19999999998 ≈ 9286.2 Kilojoule per Minute <-- Power Required

What is Refrigeration System?

A refrigeration system is a setup designed to remove heat from a space or substance to lower its temperature. It typically includes components like a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. The system circulates a refrigerant through these components, which absorb and transport heat from the target area to be expelled outside. Refrigeration systems are widely used in air conditioning, refrigeration units, and industrial processes to preserve food, cool environments, and maintain temperature-sensitive materials.
