What is the ratio of the mass of refrigerant flowing through condenser and mass of refrigerant flowing through the evaporator, i.e., m2 / m1? If m1 = mass of refrigerant passing through the evaporator m2 = mass of refrigerant passing through the condenser

What is the ratio of the mass of refrigerant flowing through condenser and mass of refrigerant flowing through the evaporator, i.e., m2 / m1? If m1 = mass of refrigerant passing through the evaporator m2 = mass of refrigerant passing through the condenser Correct Answer h2 – h6 / h3 – hf5

As the mass flowing through the respective systems is given. An intercooler is an isolated system. So, by considering the thermal equilibrium for the liquid intercooler we get, The heat taken by the liquid intercooler = Heat given by the liquid intercooler m2 hf5 + m1 h2 = m1 h6 + m2 h3 m2 (h3 – hf5) = m1 (h2 – h6) m2 / m1 = h2 – h6 / h3 – hf5.
