A crystallization process requires operation at -5ordm c


A crystallization process requires operation at -5º C. The refrigeration system can reject heat to cooling water that is available at 35º C. If a single refrigeration cycle has an efficiency of 60% of Carnot cycle performance then estimate the cost of providing 1 kW of cooling to this process using a single-stage cycle and using a cascaded-two stage cycle (in which the colder cycle rejects heat to the warmer cycle). Electricity costs $0.07/kWh and the cost of cooling water can be neglected.
