Design considerations for refrigeration cycles.

Author(s) : KLEIN S. A.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

The Carnot COP is often considered to be a design goal for actual cycles. However, the Carnot COP does not consider heat transfer mechanisms, necessarily an irreversible process and unavoidable in a refrigeration cycle. In this paper, the limitations of both thermodynamics and heat transfer are considered to identify a more realistic design goal for the COP of refrigeration cycles.
