Right Answer is: A
SOLUTION
Explanation:
Gas refrigeration cycle
- A gas refrigeration cycle works on the reverse Brayton cycle this cycle is also called Joule or Bell-Coleman cycle.
- A gas cycle consists of two reversible isobaric and two reversible adiabatic processes.
- The gas does not undergo any phase change during the cycle, consequently, all the internal heat transfer processes are sensible heat transfer processes.
- First air is compressed and then heat removed, this air is then expanded to a lower temperature than before it was compressed. Work must be taken out of the air during the expansion, otherwise, the entropy would increase.
-
Reversed Brayton cycle used in the air refrigeration cycle which uses air as the refrigerant.
-
It is used for air conditioning in aeroplanes.
Reverse Brayton cycle has following thermodynamic processes
Process 1-2 Isentropic (constant entropy) compression
Process 2-3 Isobaric (constant pressure) heat addition
Process 3-4 Isentropic expansion
Process 4-1 Isobaric heat rejection
