Hi, 

 

I am trying to calculate the mass flow rate of water (m) in a heat pump cycle. I currently have the power output required (200 kW) , temperatures (T1 = 20degC, T2 = 80degC) and enthalpies for the system (h1, h2, h3 & h4 - can provide). From what I understand m = power/(heat capacity * deltaT), however I am struggling to implement these values to obtain a mass flow rate.

 

I would be very grateful for any tips you can provide! Also, I can provide more information if required. 

 

Many thanks in advance

HI,

Share with us your work and show us your difficulties. 

You should use a Mollier diagram to visualize the process and get access to data ,then mass and heat balances to perform around evaporator and condenser, condenser and other valve.

Underneath a link to get access to thermophysical data:

Good luck
