This document summarizes several common household appliances: Tube lights (or fluorescent lamps) produce light through fluorescence and have a longer lifespan than incandescent bulbs. Fans are used to move air and come in different types like axial and centrifugal. Motors convert electrical energy to mechanical motion and are used in appliances like fans. Refrigerators use a vapor-compression cycle to artificially cool air inside and store food: a compressor raises the pressure of a refrigerant, which cools inside the fridge before repeating the cycle.
