Vapor Compression Cycle Expansion Valve
Efficiency First Law Second law Coefficient of performance, COP COP = useful refrigerating effect/net energy supplied COP = qr/wnet Second law Refrigerating efficiency, ηR ηR = COP/COPrev Comparison to ideal reversible cycle
Carnot Cycle No cycle can have a higher COP All reversible cycles operating at the same temperatures (T0, TR) will have the same COP For constant temp processes dq = Tds COP = TR/(T0 – TR)
Get Real Assume no heat transfer or potential or kinetic energy transfer in expansion valve COP = (h3-h2)/(h4-h3) Compressor displacement = mv3
