832 J. Sarkar et al. / International Journal of Refrigeration 27 (2004) 830–838 Fig. 1. The corresponding temperature – entropy diagram, shown in Fig. 2, is drawn employing the thermodynamic property code CO2PROP. As shown, saturated vapor at state 6 is superheated to state 1 in the internal heat exchanger and then compressed in the compressor to state 2. The supercritical carbon dioxide at state 2 is cooled in the gas cooler to state 3 by rejecting heat to the external fluid (useful heating effect). Unlike in a condenser, in the gas cooler the heat rejection takes place with a gliding temperature. Carbon dioxide at high pressure is further cooled from 3 to 4 in the internal heat exchanger. After the heat exchanger, the carbon dioxide is expanded through the expansion device to state 5, which is the inlet to the evaporator. The state of the refrigerant changes from 5 to 6 as it evaporates in the evaporator by extracting heat from the external fluid (useful cooling effect). In Fig. 2, process 1–2s is an isentropic compression process, while process 1–2 is the actual compression process. The dotted line below process 2–3 represents the external fluid being heated and dotted line above evaporating process represents the external fluid being cooled. The entire system has been modeled based on the energy balance of individual components of the system to yield the conservations equations that follow. Steady flow energy equations based on first law of thermodynamics have been employed in each case and specific energy quantities are used. The following assumptions have been made in the analysis: 1. Heattransferwiththeambienthasbeenneglected. 2. Single-phase heat transfer has been considered for the external fluid. 3. Compressionprocessisadiabaticbutnon-isentropic. 4. Evaporationprocessisisobaric.
