Essays on Refrigerator

Within a refrigeration system, the inside of the refrigerator is known as the cold-air reservoir, while the area surrounding the outside of the refrigerator is the hot-air reservoir. A refrigerator works by sucking the heat out of the cold-air reservoir and dumping it in the hot reservoir. The work to do this process is supplied by an electricity-powered compressor that is connected to a wall outlet. The efficiency of a refrigeration system can be estimated with a ratio known as the coefficient of performance, or COP. The COP is given by the benefit divided by the cost, or

A target behavior is a behavior that has been chosen for change, and a behavior that has to be positive by changing person's life in a significant way. The target behavior is aimed at focusing on what a person wants to be doing as opposed to what he/she does not want to be doing anymore. Prior to when “a behavior can be analyzed, it should first be defined in a clear, concise, and objective manner” (Practical training solutions, 2014). The behaviors must be determined so that it can be measured and observed. When the function of the behavior is ...

Introduction

At times, industries require the temperatures to be kept below the ambient for some processes to be effective. To do so, they must design ways to eliminate the excess heat generated by machines and introduce an artificial room temperature lower than the ambient. They must effectively eliminate temperatures above the ambient. A refrigerator is thus required in these operations. This refers to a device that can maintain the temperature below the ambient. The primary objective of a refrigeration process is to lower the temperature through heat removal. Since its invention, refrigeration has seen used in many industrial and household ...

Introduction

A refrigerator is an electrical device used in temperature maintenance below ambient temperatures. To achieve this function, the refrigerator should be able to create a heat sink at cold room temperatures a temperature that should be lower than the ambient temperature while at the same time also rejecting heats having higher temperatures than the ambient temperatures. To achieve this refrigerant is forced to undergo evaporation at temperatures lower than the ambient temperature(Griffiths, 1937). When the refrigerant is compressed at high pressure and condensing temperatures above the ambient temperature results in the loss of heat and condensation back to ...

Thermodynamics is widely applicable to our daily experiences especially with does involving heat and work. An example of a phenomenon that we encountered in real life is when ice is added to a glass of warm beverage like soda. In this case, the first and second law of thermodynamics are applied. The first law states that energy is conserved. Therefore, energy is neither created nor destroyed. To illustrate this example, let us consider the example previously mentioned. If the ice stays on the glass of warm soda, it will melt after some time. As the ice melts, the temperature ...

Memory loss or amnesia is a case of unusual forgetfulness. It corresponds to forgetting things, events, and memories, either being unable to recall some event in the recent past or something that happened in the past. Sometimes either one or both of them might be hard to remember. Memory loss can also occur for a short period of time and gets resolved in a small period of time. Sometimes it may not go away, and the memory can keep getting worse with growing age and passing the time. There are a number of causes of memory loss which are ...

This article introduces the idea of feature bloat that has been adopted by many manufacturers. Many products that were produced in the past were mostly single minded. This means that devices such as cameras were only intended for taking photographs. However, manufacturers have embarked on the production of complex products that have many features in them. For example, phones today have the capacity to make call, internet connection, mp3 players, and GPS navigation among other features. Rust et al (2006) explain that there are various reasons that have motivated manufacturers to adopt this strategy. First of all, manufacturers aim ...

Q1:The ethicality of offshoring is largely dependent on what services are being offshored. If these are services involving an increased risk in the confidentiality of patient and tax client information (Mintz, 2004), then, offshoring is unethical. Mintz mentioned a report on a Pakistani medical transcriber who threated a medical center in San Francisco unless she received more money for her services.However, when the issue is greater profitability of the company, even against potential long-term threat to the educational system, offshoring involves no ethical question but purely a business decision. There are many advantageous reasons for offshoring, such as taking advantage of foreign ...

Thermodynamics of Refrigeration

In the olden days winter was the best time of the year for cold drinks, sorbets and ice creams because ice was readily available. Without a thorough understanding of thermodynamics our communities might have to be brought their ice in an ice wagon just like in the olden days. The laws of thermodynamics were developed by scientists and used when processes of the Industrial Revolution were developed. The physics of heat transfer are applied in order to transfer heat away from the portion of a refrigerator or air conditioning that needs to continually cool the air. Now the ...

Comparisons between ‘Localism or T/here’ and ‘Post Feminism’

There are a number of comparisons that can be drawn between Juliana Spahr’s Localism or T/here and Brenda Shaughnessy’s Post Feminism – two poems concerned with the idea of togetherness in the face of adversity. Shaughnessy uses an exaggerated example of post-feminist society to demonstrate how in spite of trying not to fulfil social expectations of womanhood (the poem refers to prostitutes and mothers), togetherness is important in some context. Spahr prefers to demonstrate how ultimately, togetherness is something that you can share regardless of whether you’re “lost there and here.” In short, these are ...

The electrical appliances that account for the most of my electricity bill are the refrigerators (both standard and compact). This is not amazing because many a times when I am attending my lectures and other activities, I leave my refrigerator on. The temperatures of Texas are hot and humid; this calls for cold drinks and proper preservation of food to avoid decay. This is the reason for leaving the refrigerator on most o the times. This pattern is typical to other students as this is dictated by climatic conditions.
