Abstract
In this paper a feasibility study of steam-jet refrigeration is conducted. First and second law analyses as well as the economics of a steam-jet refri geration system are presented. Thermodynamic parameters investigated includ e the coefficient of performance (COP), refrigerating effect, condenser hea t rejection, motive steam requirements, second law efficiency, and system i rreversibility. Economic parameters investigated include equipment costs, s pace needs, power requirements, and installed and operational costs. (C) 19 98 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
