Thermodynamics Lab Report

Introduction
Thermodynamics is the study of heat and chemical transformations as a result of energy changes, energy is what keeps things moving in our everyday life and is applied to nearly everything to a point where knowledge of thermodynamics is common sense weather we know it or not. Now a days every household, car, office and even laptops and electronics have air conditioning which has allowed for appealing aspects of commercial use and consumer consumption, but what we don 't consider is how it uses heat, and the absence of heat to facilitate the exothermic and endothermic reactions to do work. Air conditioning controls humidity, ventilation and temperature, creating a fresh ambiance in warmer weather. It requires scientific topics which …show more content…
Beginning with the evaporator, the air in the surroundings are absorbed by the liquid. This liquid is an organic compound that is easily changed from liquid to a gaseous state, allowing of the absorption of heat. Here, in the evaporator the air conditioner can also remove humidity from the air. In the coil of the evaporator the humidity is removed and is later leached and collected in a separate part of the air conditioner leaving the air cooler and drier as it leaves the evaporator. In a gaseous state it moves in to the compressor, which indicated by the name compresses the gas to a higher pressure and in tune a higher temperature, and is then transported on to the condenser. In this third stage, the gas must be converted back to a liquid in order of the reaction to occur again and again and keep the air conditioner working, by allowing the gas to cool down it returns to its liquid state. Finally, in the expansion device the movement of the liquid is controlled and brought back to the evaporator. This cycle allows for the air in a room, car, office or electronic device, to be cooled down and create a more desirable place of work in order to do work. One may also see this resemblance of an air conditioner and a fridge, these two operations work almost identical with the difference being the temperature as one is brought to a lower temperature in order to keep food fresh and prevent from
