Abstract
A general thermodynamic model for cooling devices is derived and applied to absorption chillers. Observing that finite-rate mass transfer dominates irreversibilities in absorption chillers, we derive how chiller coefficient of performance should depend on cooling rate and key system variables. Model predictions are compared against performance data from journal articles, manufacturer catalogue data, and our own experimental measurements, with favourable results.
