How do we determine the refrigeration capacity experimentally ?

by

Any refrigeration device’s performance is measured in terms of its cooling capacity or refrigeration capacity in kW or Ton. There are many terms available to call the capacity of refrigeration systems such as cooling capacity, refrigeration capacity, refrigeration power, or cooling power or refrigeration effect. What is the cooling capacity or refrigeration capacity or refrigeration … Read more

Difference between Ton of refrigeration and liter of refrigerator

by

Have you ever wondered, Why capacity units of the domestic refrigerator and Air Conditioner (AC) are different though both are refrigeration systems? What is the basic difference between them with respect to the cooling capacity? The capacity of the domestic refrigerator is normally rated in ‘Litre’. A liter is actually a unit of volume and … Read more

What is the importance of setting drawing Limits in AutoCAD ?

by
Drawing limits in AutoCAD

AutoCAD is a drafting software that requires dimensions to be specified on the drawing which has its overall size depending on how big or small the drawing is. The drawing/drafting or modeling space is unlimited and thus, we need to put drawing limits in AutoCAD before we start drawing the objects. Thus, AutoCAD has unlimited … Read more

AutoCAD Mechanical: A Vital Tool for Mechanical Engineers

What would happen if compressor is removed from the refrigerator?

by

Simply, the refrigerator would STOP! but why? To answer this question, one needs to know the Second law of thermodynamics (Clausius Statement) which states “It is impossible to construct a heat pump which continuously takes away the heat from low-temperature region to high-temperature region without taking any external work”. Here, the heat pump is our … Read more
