When two refrigerants are mixed in the proper proportions, the mixture forms a third refrigerant called: Correct Answer an azeotrope

Explanation:

Refrigerants:

The refrigerant is a heat-carrying medium which during their cycle (i.e. compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation) in the refrigeration system absorb heat from a low-temperature system and discard the heat so absorbed to a high-temperature system.

Azeotropic mixture:

  • The mixture of refrigerants which boils at a constant temperature like a pure liquid and posses the same composition of components in liquid as well as in vapour phase i.e., the two refrigerants are mixed in the proper proportions, and the mixture forms the third refrigerant.
  • The azeotropes are also known as a constant boiling mixture because the whole of the azeotrope changes into vapour state at constant temperature and their components cannot be separated by the fractional distillation.
