Practicing Success
A refrigerator works between 3°C and 33°C. It is required to remove 650 calories of heat every second in order to keep the temperature of the refrigerated space constant. The power required is : (Take 1 cal = 4.2 Joules) |
2.967 W 296.7 W 29.67 W 2967 W |
296.7 W |
COP of a refrigerator is given by COP = $\frac{Q_c}{W} = \frac{T_c}{T_h -T_c}$ $\Rightarrow W = Q_c \frac{T_h - T_c}{T_c} = 650\times 4.2 \times \frac{33-3}{273+3} = 2730\times \frac{30}{276} J = 296.7W$ |
