I. INTRODUCTION
There are many applications for refrigeration systems and the use of
these systems is widely used in personal, commercial, and industrial
applications. In industry, maintaining the required temperature for the transport
and storage of food uses varied forms of refrigeration. The cooling load on a
system for a refrigerated train car will be different than for a refrigerated truck
or for refrigerated storage. Refrigeration is an essential discipline in mechanical
engineering, and it has an important role to play in the cold chain and food
industry. There are various types of refrigeration available and one of them is
the Standard Vapor Compression Cycle (SVCC) which, like all other
refrigeration, relies on refrigerants as a cooling agent. As modern technology
pushes further in its role in academic learning, developing software for SVCC
will be able to aid students as well as instructors in the field of Mechanical
Engineering.
The study generally aims to aid anyone that has an intent to get accurate
answer regarding the problem without taking too much of their time. The
software will serve as a guide in answering the problem with sufficient detail.
The user of the proposed software will be shown first with some given values
and programmed arrangement in solving the problem. The user will then solve
manually for the rate of heat absorption and rejection, the compressor work, the
coefficient of performance, and refrigerating efficiency. With all the values
collected, the data can be put in the software and it will calculate the answer.
Simulations will also be included so that the user can visualize the solution.
This program is capable of using English units, cuts the length of time in
solving manually in terms of getting the enthalpy, entropy, and specific of each
state, also in solving for refrigerating effect, condenser heat, COP, adding
English units, and doing analysis reducing time in just a single click. For
educators that has limited time in teaching this program can be used as
instructional material to utilize their time while providing a uniform and accurate
solutions. In this program, enhancing education and students can be attained.

The difference in content between the saturated vapor that departs the
evaporator and the liquid refrigerant that exits the expansion valve, or so the
liquid refrigerant that enters the evaporator, is called the refrigeration effect. It
calculates the number of unit masses of refrigerant that must be evaporated in
a particular amount of time to generate what is required (Miller & Miller, 2006).
III. METHODOLOGY
Test programs have been created to serve as the foundation for the
development of the final program's codes. Programs in those test programs can
determine the saturation and superheated properties of each refrigerant at a
given temperature. These test programs have also been used to validate the
interpolation formulas. As the test programs were perfected, the final program,
which includes the formulas for the rate of heat absorption at the evaporator,
rate of heat rejection at the condenser, compressor work, coefficient of
performance, and refrigerating efficiency, was developed.
Finally, the final program was then debugged and tested. Several test
problems with varying evaporator and condenser temperatures, were solved
using computer software, and the results were then compared to the results of
solving manually.
15
The construction of the software will start with the research about the
topic, followed by the in initial programming which involves tasks such as
analysis and generating algorithms; and initial debugging that involves
identifying a problem, isolating the source of the problem, and then either
correcting the problem or determining a way to work around it. If the initial
debugging is successful, it will proceed to final programming and final
debugging. If it’s unsuccessful, the process will go back to the research. After
the final debugging, the software will be tested to make commands, if it fails to
follow the given tasks the software will return to the research. When the testing
is a success, the software will proceed to the data gathering which is the
collecting and measuring of information on variables of interest in a systematic
way that enables the software to answer the objectives of the study. Next step
is the analysis of data, results and discussion, and the conclusion. After these
stages in generating the software is achieved, the software is set to take
recommendation.
Using the software Visual Studio to include the refrigerant R-513a and
R-514a in the CARCASS software. The thermodynamic properties of the
additional refrigerant will be obtained in the Chemours Refrigerant Expert
(CRE) 1.0 software, as shown in the figure 3.3 to figure 4.0 below. The table
was used in the CRE software's Properties tab to generate data for the
refrigerants in the saturated, and superheated states, with pressure and
temperature as parameters. The information is then copied and pasted into the
Microsoft Excel software.
17
SVACCSS's user interface (UI) was created with the aid of the program
Visual Studio 2022. There are nine windows that make up the SVACCSS, they
are: the main window, three windows for each of the components of a single-
stage vapor compression cycle (compressor, condenser, and evaporator), a
window that shows the properties at each point of the cycle, a window for the
refrigerant information and its property calculator, a window for the software
information, a window for developers’ information, and a window for printing the
results.
The main window features a menu bar, and a link for the refrigerant
option window. The menu bar allows the user to proceed to the software’s other
windows or exit the software. The next window shows the standard vapor
compression system with its P-H and T-S diagram before proceeding to the
input of parameters. The information of the refrigerants can be seen on the main
window upon choosing the refrigerant for the given problem. It is also where the
user can optionally input the refrigerating capacity or the mass flow rate of the
refrigerant. After the calculate button is pressed, the first tab strip shows the
results of the calculations such as the mass flow rate, refrigerating capacity,
pressure and temperature at each state, heat rejection at the condenser,
compressor power, energy efficiency ratio coefficient of performance, and
system efficiency.
23
The equations for determining the enthalpy, entropy, and specific volume
at each state were developed using numerical analysis, specifically Newtonian
Polynomial Interpolation.
The general form of an n−1 orders Newton’s polynomial that goes through n
points is:
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎0 + 𝑎1 (𝑥 − 𝑥0 ) + 𝑎2 (𝑥 − 𝑥0 )(𝑥 − 𝑥1 ) + ⋯
+ 𝑎𝑛 (𝑥 − 𝑥0 )(𝑥 − 𝑥1 ) … (𝑥 − 𝑥𝑛 )
𝑦1 − 𝑦0
𝑎1 =
𝑥1 − 𝑥0
And to calculate a3, insert data points (x3, y3) in the form of
𝑦3 − 𝑦2 𝑦2 − 𝑦1 𝑦2 − 𝑦1 𝑦1 − 𝑦0
𝑥3 − 𝑥2 − 𝑥2 − 𝑥1 𝑥2 − 𝑥1 − 𝑥1 − 𝑥0
−
𝑥3 − 𝑥1 𝑥2 − 𝑥0
𝑎3 =
𝑥3 − 𝑥0
29
If we define:
𝑦1 − 𝑦0
𝑓[𝑥1 , 𝑥0 ] =
𝑥1 − 𝑥0
𝑦2 − 𝑦1 𝑦1 − 𝑦0
𝑥2 − 𝑥1 − 𝑥1 − 𝑥0 𝑓[𝑥2 , 𝑥1 ] − 𝑓[𝑥1 , 𝑥0 ]
𝑓[𝑥2 , 𝑥1 , 𝑥0 ] = =
𝑥2 − 𝑥0 𝑥2 , 𝑥1
After the coefficients are determined, the only thing we need to calculate is
the higher differences which continues in the same manner.
Each element in the table can be calculated using the two previous elements
(to the left). We can calculate each element and store them into a diagonal
matrix, which is the coefficients matrix and can be written as:
30
Process Assumptions
In order to find the entropy of each state, two important assumptions are
necessary. We assume that, the states 1–2 have isentropic compression
process, and the states 3–4 have isenthalpic process.
o 𝑃1 = 𝑃𝑒 − 𝑑𝑃𝑒
o 𝑃2 = 𝑃𝑐 + 𝑑𝑃𝑐
o 𝑃3 = 𝑃𝑐
o 𝑃4 = 𝑃𝑒
o 𝑡1 = 𝑡𝑒 + 𝑑𝑡𝑒
o 𝑡3 = 𝑡𝑐 − 𝑑𝑡𝑐
o 𝑡4 = 𝑡𝑒
ℎ1 = ℎ𝑔 @ 𝑃𝑒
𝑠1 = 𝑠2 = 𝑠𝑔 @ 𝑃𝑒
ℎ2 = ℎ @ 𝑠2 @ 𝑃𝑐 @ 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑒𝑟ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑣𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑟
ℎ3 = ℎ4 = ℎ𝑓 @ 𝑃𝑐
After finding enthalpy at each state, we can use these following equations to
find the following:
• for mixtures:
o 𝑎 = 𝑎𝑓 + 𝑥(𝑎𝑔 − 𝑎𝑓 )
• refrigeration formulas:
o 𝐼𝐸 = (ℎ2𝑖 − ℎ1 )⁄(ℎ2𝑎 − ℎ1 )
o 𝑄𝑒 = 𝑚̇(ℎ1 − ℎ4 )
o 𝑄𝑐 = 𝑚̇(ℎ2 − ℎ3 )
o 𝑊𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝 = 𝑚̇(ℎ2 − ℎ1 )
o 𝐶𝑂𝑃 = 𝑄𝑒 ⁄𝑊𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝
o 𝐶𝑂𝑃𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑛𝑜𝑡 = 𝑇𝑒 ⁄(𝑇𝑐 − 𝑇𝑒 )
o 𝑆𝐸𝐼 = 𝐶𝑂𝑃⁄𝐶𝑂𝑃𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑛𝑜𝑡
Pe = pressure at evaporator
Pc = pressure at condenser
te = temperature at evaporator
tc = temperature at condenser
To calculate the absolute error between the SVACCS data and the CRE 1.0
Reference data for a given thermodynamic property (pressure, enthalpy,
entropy, or specific volume), the formula is:
Where the SVACCS data represents the data obtained using the Properties
Calculator feature of SVACCSS, and the CRE 1.0 Reference represents the
values from the table generated by the software CRE 1.0. By using these
formulas to calculate the absolute and relative errors, the accuracy of the data
can be verified and any discrepancies can be addressed.
33
If the mass flow rate is not given and none of the following are given:
Refrigerating Capacity, Heat Rejected at the Condenser, or Compressor Work,
the mass flow rate of the refrigerant will default to a value of 1 kg/s.

0.00174%. For the specific volume (vf) of the Refrigerant-514a when the input
in pressure, the average absolute error is 2.49E-07 or 0.000000249% and an
88
average relative error of 0.03332%. The specific volume of the vapor has an
absolute error of 5.24E-07 and a relative error of 0.00024%.
For the Refrigerant-513a with temperature as its input has a relative error
of 7.91745E-08 and the relative error with pressure as its input has a higher
average relative error of 2.728E-04. The enthalpy (hf) in the temperature input
has a slightly different percent error value compared to the pressure, these are
0.00000012% and 0.0000745% respectively. The same matter was also found
in the enthalpy (hg) of both inputs which are 6.83071E-08 and 1.74435E-05,
with an insignificant difference. With the entropy (sf) of the temperature input, it
is insignificantly higher than the entropy (sf) with the pressure input. For the
entropy (sg) of the Refrigerant-513a there is also an irrelevant difference of the
percent error, which are 0.000015% and 0.0000262%. The specific volume (vf)
of the temperature as input has an average relative error of 3.74E-04 and
89
4.43E-04 when the pressure was inputted. With the same sequence, relative
error of specific volume (vg) was 4.3E-06 and 4.34E-04 respectively.
