Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the historical development of refrigeration and ice-making machinery and processes, from early scientific and engineering principles to more modern and advanced applications. The evolution of the field is examined across five classifications of methods: the utilization of a solid's rapid dissolution, the abstraction of heat through the evaporation of a portion of the liquid to be cooled, the abstraction of heat through the evaporation of a separate volatile refrigerating agent, the abstraction of heat through a similar process with the addition of heat, and the abstraction of heat by compressing air or other gas. The author delves into topics like latent heat, specific heat, mechanical equivalent of heat, and the properties of various refrigerating agents. This book serves as a valuable resource for those seeking an overview of refrigeration technology and its wide-ranging applications, and will prove particularly useful to engineers and professionals in the field of refrigeration, as well as for researchers interested in the historical development of important technologies.
