Intro To Refrigeration Flashcards
Kelvin (k)
Is zero point of scale =-273.16
Absolute zero
Temperature is
The degree of hotness or coldness sometimes called the quality of heat
Measure of energy of vibration of molecules
Absolute zero is
Kelvin -273.16c
Absolute temp equation
K=celcius+273
Standard unit for pressure is
Pascal (Pa)
Pounds per square inch
Pressure conversion
kPa=psi x 6.895
Or
Psi = kPa/6.895
Absolute pressure
Pressure gauge reads pressure above atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure reads 0kPa but there is atmospheric pressure of 101.325kPa
Gauge pressure kPa + 101.325kPa = absolute kPa
Triangle
Sum of 3 angles is 180 deg
Area=b x h/2
Volume of a tank
Area=b x h
Volume = b x h x L
Circles
Area = x r2
1m cubed
1000L
Joule
Is the unit of all forms of energy
Heat, mechanical, potential, electrical, nuclear, stress
Specific heat of water
It requires 4.18kj of heat energy to raise the temp of 1kg of water by 1degree celcius
Latent heat of fusion
Ice at 0degress celcius requires 335kj of energy to melt 1kg of ice
Watt
Power unit of electrical power such that 1 watt=1joule per second
