F02 -- Thermodynamics and Refrigeration Cycles (I-P) PDF

Thermodynamics is the study of energy, its transformations,and its relation to states of matter. This chapter covers the application ofthermodynamics to refrigeration cycles. The first part reviews the first andsecond laws of thermodynamics and presents methods for calculatingthermodynamic properties. The second and third parts address compression andabsorption refrigeration cycles, two common methods of thermal energy transfer.
