Explain about vapor cycle?

Question

Accepted Answer

Vapor cycle is a thermodynamic cycle used in refrigeration systems to transfer heat from a low-temperature region to a high-temperature region.

Vapor cycle involves four main components: compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator.
The cycle starts with the compressor, which increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant vapor.
The high-pressure vapor then flows into the condenser, where it releases heat to the surroundings and condenses into a liquid.
The liquid refrigerant then passes through the expansion valve, which reduces its pressure and temperature.
The low-pressure liquid enters the evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the surroundings and evaporates into a vapor again.
The vapor is then drawn back into the compressor to repeat the cycle.
This cycle allows for the continuous transfer of heat from a colder region to a hotter region.
Examples of vapor cycle systems include air conditioners, refrigerators, and heat pumps.
