works by pumping refrigerant, a liquid chemical, through tubes in the cooling cabinet. The refrigerant evaporates there and pulls heat from the air. The gas is pumped out of the cabinet and into the compressor and condenser where the heat is expelled

What year did Albert Einstein discover the refrigerator?

It was made by a collaboration of Einstein and his student Leó Szilárd so is called the Einstein-Szilárd refrigerator. It was invented in 1926.


What is the relationship between isentropic compression work and the efficiency of a thermodynamic process?

The relationship between isentropic compression work and the efficiency of a thermodynamic process is that the efficiency of a process increases as the isentropic compression work decreases. Isentropic compression work is the work required to compress a gas without any heat transfer or energy loss, and a lower amount of this work indicates a more efficient process.


How is a refrigerator an example of a heat mover?

Normally, heat moves from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. Devices that use work to move heat are called heat movers. A refrigerator is an example of a heat mover because it takes the heat from inside of the refrigerator and moves it to the outside. The 2nd law of thermodynamics allows this to occur if work is done in the process. A refrigerator does work as it moves the heat from inside the refrigerator to the warmer room.


Where does the energy for the refrigerator come from?

The energy for a refrigerator typically comes from electricity. The refrigerator's compressor and other components work together to remove heat from inside the appliance, keeping food cold.


Where did James Harrison invent his refrigerator?

James Harrison invented his refrigerator on the Barwon River at Rocky Point in Geelong, Victoria, Australia. His invention was called an ether vapor-compression refrigeration system.
