Refrigerator Work Formula Elements

Variables
Refrigerator Work
Refrigerator work is the work done by the refrigerator in an interval of temperature change.
Symbol: Rw
Measurement: EnergyUnit: J
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Heat from High Temperature Reservoir
Heat from high temperature reservoir is a source that provides thermal energy to a heat engine, allowing the engine to operate by transferring heat.
Symbol: Qhigh
Measurement: EnergyUnit: J
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Heat from Low Temperature Reservoir
Heat from low temperature reservoir is a thermal energy sink that absorbs heat from a heat engine during its operation is typically at a lower temperature than the engine’s working fluid.
Symbol: Qlow
Measurement: EnergyUnit: J
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

How to Evaluate Refrigerator Work?

Refrigerator Work evaluator uses Refrigerator Work = Heat from High Temperature Reservoir-Heat from Low Temperature Reservoir to evaluate the Refrigerator Work, Refrigerator Work formula is defined as the difference between the heat absorbed from the high-temperature reservoir and the heat rejected to the low-temperature reservoir, representing the energy required for the refrigeration cycle to operate effectively. Refrigerator Work is denoted by Rw symbol.

How to evaluate Refrigerator Work using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Refrigerator Work, enter Heat from High Temperature Reservoir (Qhigh) & Heat from Low Temperature Reservoir (Qlow) and hit the calculate button.
