Hi
I'm new to this and am still trying to get my head around some parts. So I was shown an experimental procedure for investigating the performance of a refrigeration plant (R134a) incorporating a water cooled condnser. I varied evaporator loads 1400W, 1200W and 1000W and adjusted the water flow rate across the condenser between 0.01kg/s, 0.02kg/s and 0.03kg/s with results that I interpret that as the flowrate of water across the condenser increases the cooling water differential decreases. But I thought that if Q=mcdt then surely if I increase water flowrate, my temperature differential should increase. What am I missing here? See my recorded results below.
Thanks and sorry if post is in wrong section
