Question:

The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is 9. If the temperature inside freezer is –30°C, the temperature of the surroundings to which it rejects heat is : 

Options:

2.1°C

3°C

-3°C

4°C

Correct Answer:

-3°C

Explanation:

\(k = \frac{1}{\frac{T_1}{T_2} - 1}\)

k = 9 ; T2 = - 30°C = 243 K

\(9 = \frac{1}{\frac{T_1}{243} - 1}\)

T1 = 270 K = - 3oC
