  1. General Physics 1 Hongqun Zhang The Department of Physics, Beijing Normal University June 2005

  2. The Second Law of Thermodynamics • Heat can travel from higher temperature area to lower temperature area spontaneously . But the reverse process must occur conditionally.

  3. How Refrigerators Work? • Parts of A Refrigerator • The Refrigeration Cycle • 3. A Relevant Question

  4. Background Question: • Why does it feel cold when rubbing alcohol evaporates from your skin?

  5. Parts of a Refrigerator • Refrigerant (Freon) • Compressor • Heat-exchanging pipes (Condenser) • Expansion valve • Heat-exchanging pipes (Evaporator) Evaporator

  6. The Refrigeration Cycle Higher temperature and higher pressure gas(p2=9.2bar, t2=46oc) Lower temperature and lower pressure gas(p1=1.5bar, t1=-10oc) Lower temperature and higher pressure liquid (p3=9bar, t3=37.4oc) Lower temperature and lower pressure liquid (p4=1.5bar, t4=-20oc)

  7. Conclusion • In refrigeration cycle, Freon absorb heat from freezer compartment and release the heat from condenser to outside, with input of electrical work

  8. Question: • Why does Freon liquid pass through expansion valve with the temperature decreasing ?
