Most of the heat transfer from the heat exchanger is by which of the following:

Convection
Convection is the transfer of heat between a solid surface and a fluid (gas or liquid) that is in motion.
The fluid moves over the surface and carries away heat by conduction and diffusion.

Saturation
Superheating
Sublimation
Subcooling
Sublimation
Some common examples of sublimation include dry ice, iodine, and camphor
In a refrigeration system, miscibility is the ability of a fluid to:

Reacts with water and forms acidic compounds
Readily mix with other fluids
Reacts with air and forms corrosion comp
Miscibility refers to the ability of a refrigerant to mix with a lubricant. A refrigerant that is miscible with a lubricant will mix with the lubricant and form a single phase. This helps in improving the efficiency of the system.

Steel
Copper
Aluminum
All the options are correct
The tubes of the indoor evaporator coils are typically made of copper, steel, or aluminum. Howev-er, Copper is the most common material used for evaporator coils because it is a good conductor of heat and it is relatively corrosion-resistant.
Which one of the following is known as the line that connects the metering device and the evaporator:
Inlet line
Discharge line
Suction line
Liquid line
The liquid line is an important part of the refrigeration system and it transports the refrigerant from the metering device to the evaporator.
Which of the following is used to remove the trapped air from a low pressure system from the top of the condenser:
Discharge unit
Recover unit
Purge unit
Compressor unit
A purge unit is used to remove trapped air from a low-pressure system from the top of the con-denser. The purge unit has a pump that creates a vacuum inside the condenser. This vacuum draws the trapped air out of the condenser and into the purge unit. The purge unit then vents the trapped air to the outside.
Turning the TXV valve stem in (Blank) direction increase superheat:
Counter clockwise
Clockwise
The TXV valve stem controls the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator. When the stem is turned clockwise, it closes the valve, which reduces the flow of refrigerant. This causes the refrigerant to vaporize more completely in the evaporator, which increases the superheat.

What is Latent heat?
Is heat energy that when added or removed from a substance, will cause a change in state not a change in temperature
