• 1-2-3-4 show the reverse Carnot Cycle.
However, it is not practical to implement. s
Hence, we modify some of the processes to eliminate the practical problems and get the Ideal Vapor-Compression
Refrigeration Cycle
• Evaporates liquid into 100% vapor
• Compress vapor instead of two phase mixture
• Replace turbine by an expansion/throttling valve (not an isentropic process)

Limitations of Carnot Cycle
• Reversibility of Processes
• Slow Operation
• Heat Transfer Losses
• Ideal Working Fluid
• Large Temperature Reservoirs
• Phase Change Exclusion

• In actual practice it is taken as equivalent to 210 kJ/min (3.517 kW).
• Answer: 2.05 KJ
