Refrigerator
Refrigeration preserves food by lowering its temperature. It slows down the growth and reproduction of micro-organisms such as bacteria and the action of enzymes which cause food to rot.
11
Refrigeration is based on three principles. First, if a liquid is heated, it changes to a gas or vapour. When this gas is cooled, it changes back into a liquid. Second, if a gas allowed to expand, it cools down. If a gas is compressed, it heats up. Third, lowering the pressure around a liquid helps it to boil.
To keep the refrigerator at a constant low temperature, heat must be transferred from the inside of the cabinet to the outside. A refrigerant is used to do it. It is circulated around the fridge, where it undergoes changes in pressure and temperature and changes from a liquid to a gas and back again.
The refrigeration process begins in the compressor. This compresses the gas so that it heats up. It pumps the gas into the condenser. As the warm gas passes through the condenser, it heats the surroundings and cools down. By the time it leaves the condenser, it has condensed back into a liquid.
Liquid leaving the condenser has to flow down in a narrow tube (a capillary tube). This prevents liquid from leaving the condenser too quickly and keeps it at a high pressure. As the liquid passes from the narrow capillary tube to the larger tubes of the evaporator, the pressure quickly drops. The liquid turns to vapour, which expands and cools. The cold vapour absorbs heat from the fridge. It is then sucked back into the compressor and the process begins again. The compressor is switched on and off by a thermostat, a device that regulates the temperature, so that the food is not over frozen.

statements are they?

Air Conditioning
Air conditioning is the process of altering the properties of air (primarily temperature and humidity) to more comfortable conditions, typically with the aim of distributing the conditioned air to an occupied space to improve thermal comfort and indoor air quality.
There are two types of air conditioning systems commonly used on aircraft. Air cycle air conditioning is used on most turbine-powered aircraft. The air conditioning system depends on compressed air from the engines, the APU (auxiliary power unit) or any ground supply unit. Vapor cycle air conditioning systems are often used on reciprocating aircraft. This type system is similar to that found in homes and automobiles. Note that some turbine-powered aircraft also use vapor cycle air conditioning.
Air cycle air conditioning prepares engine bleed air to pressurize the aircraft cabin. The temperature and quantity of the air must be controlled to maintain a comfortable cabin environment at all altitudes and on the ground. The air cycle system is often called the air conditioning package or pack. It is usually located in the lower half of the fuselage or in the tail section of turbine-powered aircraft.
15
A pneumatic system controller together with bleed air precoolers ensure proper supply to packs of compressed air from the engines via a pneumatic duct. Air bled from engines is too hot and compressed to be used to pressurize or cool the cabin, although it is suitable for other uses. Part of the bled air is tapped and sent to the air conditioning packs which supply air to the cabin at required pressure and temperature.
In the passenger cabins air circulates by being drawn in at floor level and expelled overheat at storage compartment level.
During on-ground and in-flight periods, the passenger compartment can be heated to 20–21 °C. Similarly, the air conditioning system is designed to cool the passenger cabin to 25–27 °C with maximum humidity ranging between 65 % and 60 % when the outside temperature exceeds 30 °C.
Separate temperature controls are located in the cockpit and the passenger compartments.
The cockpit receives a continual flow of fresh air. Cockpit crew members also have individual air outlets available at their seats. The cockpit is also equipped with adjustable outlets allowing for windshield defogging.

Flight dynamics
The science of mechanics has as its object the study of the motions of material bodies, and its aim is to describe the facts concerning these motions in the simplest way. That portion of the subject of mechanics which describes the motion of bodies, without reference to the causes of the motion, is called kinematics, while that portion which studies the relationship between the mutual influences and the resulting motions is called kinetics. These two subjects are usually combined under the name dynamics. The general principles of dynamics:
(1) Every body persists in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, except in so far as it may be compelled by force to change that state.
(2) The time rate of change of momentum is equal to the force producing it, and the change takes place in the direction in which the force is acting.
(3) To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, or the mutual actions of any two bodies are always equal and oppositely directed.
These statements may be regarded partly as definitions and partly as experimental facts.
Aircraft flight dynamics and control aircraft motion is more complicated than spacecraft motion due to the dependence of forces and moments on attitude and velocity. Typical first investigations of aircraft dynamics and
