Abstract
The effects of thermal resistances and internal irreversibilities on the pe rformances of cascaded and double effect absorption refrigeration cycles we re investigated. Improved equations for the coefficient of performance (COP ) of the systems under consideration were obtained. It was found that, unde r the same operation conditions, the cascaded cycle gives an increase of ab out 60% in the COP and 40% in the cooling load compared to that of a double effect cycle.
