216. An ammonia simple saturation cycle operates with a suction pressure of 291.6 kPa and a
condenser pressure of 1204 kPa develops 15 tons of refrigeration. Determine the theoretical
horsepower of the compressor. The following enthalpies have been found: condenser entrance
\= 1653 kJ/kg, exit = 346.6 kJ/kg; compressor entrance = 1450.2 kJ/kg, exit = 1653 kJ/kg.
