A refrigerator keeps a steady, cool temperature in order to keep food at a temperature which keeps it from spoiling. Jackson sets the temperature by adjusting the thermostat inside the refrigerator. The fridge assesses the temperature in the fridge with a sensor and a compressor circulates the refrigerant throughout the system.
Identify the input, output, process, and control.
