摘要:The optimal configuration of a refrigeration cycle operating between a finite low-temperature source and an infinite high-temperature sink are derived by using finite time thermodynamics based on a complex heat transfer law, including Newtonian heat transfer law, linear phenomenological heat transfer law, radiative heat transfer law, Dulong-Petit heat transfer law, generalized convective heat transfer law and generalized radiative heat transfer law. In the refrigeration cycle model the only irreversibility of finite rate heat transfer is considered. The optimal relation between cooling load and coefficient of performance (COP) of the refrigeration cycle is also derived by using an equivalent temperature of low-temperature source. The obtained results include those with various heat transfer laws and infinite low-temperature source, and can provide some theoretical guidelines for the designs of practical refrigerators .
