(A) The surface of meat turns black and brittle. (B) The butter and cheese develop slimy coating. (C) Fruits develop sour and bitter taste. (D) Eggs lose weight and give very strong bad smell.
2. (a) What is a refrigerant ? On what principle 7 does it work ? Describe organic and inorganic refrigerants. (b) A refrigerator operates between — 45°C and 7 0°C. R12 is used as refrigerant. Its properties are described in the following table. Sat. temp

3. (a) On T —S plane show a refrigeration cycle 7 comprising isentropic compression of wet vapour (i) to saturation, (ii) condensation of saturated vapour into saturated liquid, (iii) throttling of high pressure saturated liquid into very wet vapour and (iv)
evaporation of wet vapour into Dry Vapour. Name the components in which these processes occur.
(b) In the above simple cycle if the vapour is 7 super heated before compression and liquid sub cools before throttling how will the performance be affected in terms of COP ?
4. An ice plant using water at 10°C produces 480 x 103kg of ice in 24 hours. The plant follows Carnot cycle and works between temperatures of — 5°C and higher temperature of 23°C.
