Re: vapour compression cycle
Brian, the one point in your description that stands out for me is the fact that upon entering the condenser, you can go from 60C/10bar to 30C/10bar (the pressure does not reduce). It would seem to me that in order to NOT have a pressure reduction, the volume in the system, condenser and subsequent pipework would have to be much smaller than that which moves the vapour and this is why the pressure does not change much.
The act of condensing the vapour to liquid should, at first glance, reduce the pressure as well as the temp (regardless of area volume). The non changing pressure side of this can be confusing to people.
