Air Refrigeration System (Advantages and Disadvantages of Air Refrigeration)| Refrigeration

The virtues of air refrigeration, including cheapness, availability and safety of the refrigerant used made it quite appealing to the early inventors of refrigeration machines. Air refrigeration dates back to the middle of nineteenth century, but it was not until 1877 that a reliable unit was developed. It was used mostly for cold-storage of meat on ships. However, the equipment [...]

Top 5 Methods of Refrigeration (Natural and Artificial Methods of Refrigeration)

Top 5 Methods of Refrigeration (Natural and Artificial Methods of Refrigeration)! 1. Natural Methods: (a) By Using Ice or Snow: The natural methods include the utilization of ice or snow produced naturally in cold climate. Ice melts at 0°C, so when it is placed in a space or system warmer than 0°C heat flows into ice and the space is [...]

Simple Vapour Compression Refrigeration System (with diagram) | Thermodynamics

In this article we will discuss about simple vapour compression refrigeration system. Introduction to Vapour Compression System: For a closed cycle of refrigeration employing the condensable refrigerant vapour, the following processes are required: (i) Compression of the vapour, thereby increasing pressure. (ii) Condensing these vapours and rejecting heating to the cooling medium (usually water or atmospheric air). (iii) Expanding the [...]

Combinational and Sequential Circuits (With Functions) | Electronics

In this article we will discuss about combinational and sequential circuits and their functions. Introduction to Combinational and Sequential Circuits: A digital system must store binary numbers in addition to performing logic. To take care of this requirement, a memory cell, called a FLIP-FLOP, is introduced. Theoretically any digital system can be constructed entirely from NAND gates and FLIP-FLOPs. These [...]

Electrical Wiring: Types of Insulated Wires, Flexible Cord and Flexible Cable

Wires are of two groups- (i) ordinary wires and (ii) cables. For electric work conductors are usually made of copper but aluminium conductors are also used mainly because of its low cost. In India a large quantity of copper is imported from other countries. Presently the armature and field coils of different machines and instruments are also made of aluminium [...]
