Suitability criterion for a refrigerant for use in solar operated sorption refrigerator

  • 1. University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore (Pakistan). Dept. of Mechanical Engineering

Description

The thermodynamics of a sorption refrigeration cycle has been discussed representing the cycle on a clapeyron digram. The minimum generation temperature required has been determined using the 'd-a' equation which represents the sorption equilibrium of the pair, and Gibbs free energy relation. The mathematical relation developed provides a totally new basis for determination of suitability of a particular refrigerant. (author)
