Is a refrigerator an adiabatic system?
A refrigerator or air conditioner consists of a fluid pumped through a closed system. Four steps are involved in the cycle. The fluid passes through a nozzle and expands into a low-pressure area. This is essentially an adiabatic expansion - the fluid vaporizes and cools down.
