- Abstract
Using finite-time thermodynamics, optimal analysis on a class of three-heat-source refrigerator for linear phenomenological heat-transfer law is done. The cooling load for the refrigerator per unit total cost is proposed as objective functions for the optimization. The optimum performance parameters which maximize the objective functions are investigated. Since the optimization technique consists of both investment and energy consumption costs, the obtained results are more general and realistic. The conclusions obtained here are of importance in the optimal design and reasonable use of the energy of real three-heat-source refrigerators.
