We rely on refrigeration daily, not to mention the use of air conditioners in the summer. But how does refrigeration work? Is it a cyclic process like the heat engine? In this assignment, you will research refrigeration and explain the process in terms of the First Law of Thermodynamics. Review the rubric below to see the specific requirements for this assignment.
| Requirements | 10 points | Your explanation is thorough including all parts of the refrigeration process. You accurately explain how each part of the process contributes to the overall thermodynamic process. |
| 5 points | Your explanation includes a discussion of the First Law of Thermodynamics and how refrigeration applies to the law. You include equations to accompany the explanation. | |
| 10 points | You include a well-labelled diagram of the refrigeration process that is original (i.e. not a picture taken from the internet). Each part of the diagram is explained in the written explanation. | |
| Mechanics | 5 points | Your assignment uses correct grammar and mechanics. |
