Pressure-enthalpy chart is useful in refrigeration. The change in internal energy of an ideal fluid used in ideal refrigeration cycle is_____________________?

Correct answer: C. Zero

  • A. Positive
  • B. Negative
  • C. Zero
  • D. Infinity

Explanation

Over a complete ideal refrigeration cycle, the working fluid returns to its initial state, and internal energy is a state function. Hence its net change in internal energy is zero, even though it changes during individual processes.
