A refrigerator operates on a reverse Carnot cycle where the maximum temp is 50C and min is 0C. The machine produces 10kw of cooling. Find COP of the refrigerator, net work done, and amount of heat rejected.
Added by Labib S.
Step 1
T1 (maximum temperature) = 50C = 50 + 273.15 = 323.15 K T2 (minimum temperature) = 0C = 0 + 273.15 = 273.15 K The COP of a refrigerator operating on a reverse Carnot cycle is given by the formula: COP = T2 / (T1 - T2) Substituting the values, we get: COP = Show more…

A refrigerator operating on the reversed Carnot cycle has a measured work input of $200 \mathrm{kW}$ and heat rejection of $2000 \mathrm{kW}$ to a heat reservoir at $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ Determine the cooling load supplied to the refrigerator, in $\mathrm{kW}$, and the temperature of the heat source, in $^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.
A refrigerator working on reversed Carnot cycle requires 0.5 KW per KW of cooling to maintain a temperature of -15°C. Determine the following: a) COP of the refrigerator b) Temperature at which heat is rejected and c) Amount of heat rejected to the surroundings per KW of cooling.
