Question: From the PV diagram, draw the refrigeration cycle, which replicates the process the fluid undergoes inside the refrigerator (at approximately 4C) and outside the refrigerator
- From the PV diagram, draw the refrigeration cycle, which replicates the process the fluid undergoes inside the refrigerator (at approximately 4C) and outside the refrigerator (at approximately 20C). Remember to:
- Draw the 20C and 4C isotherms to your plot so that you can properly map the process.
- Indicate the four stages of the process as either vaporizer, condenser, compressor or expander stages.
- Identify the stage where the heat is gained or lost by the refrigerant, and where work is exerted on the refrigerant.
- The stage where the refrigerant is cooling the fridges contents.
