Abstract

Highlights: [•] Dimensionless equation that links COP, entropy rate variation and heat exchange. [•] Maximum COP as function of parameter controlling thermal exchanges. [•] Application at irreversible vapor compression refrigerator based on literature data. [•] Results show the analysis is useful in diagnostic and designing of refrigerators.
