Abstract:
In this work, a comparison of cooling capacity between a normal R134a refrigerant and a GO-R134a nanorefrigerant is done. The graphene oxide is used as a nanoparticle which improves the refrigeration effect and coefficient of performance of the refrigerator. This is observed at different masses of water. Here water is acting as a cooling load. The concentration of graphene oxide is 0.01% by weight of the refrigerant. The experiment has shown variation in increase in refrigeration effect from 0.26 times at 1 kg of water to 0.65 times at 0.5 kg of water. Likewise, there is an increase in COP of the domestic refrigerator from 0.57 times at 1 kg of water to 1.06 times at 0.5 kg of water. This means that in a given time frame, the cooling can be obtained at a greater extent if nanorefrigerant is used in place of R134a refrigerant. Or in other words, if a particular temperature of the load (here water) is to be achieved then the nanorefrigerant will take a lesser time in comparison to the R134a refrigerant.
Keywords:
