Step 1
Since the low temperature is -40°C, we need to convert it to Kelvin. Th = -40°C + 273.15 = 233.15 K Show more…

As shown in Figure Q2, a Carnot heat engine (HE) of 60% thermal efficiency generates 1.5 kW work output. The entire work output of the heat engine is used to drive a Carnot refrigerator (R) that removes heat from the cooled space at -15°C. Both devices reject the heat to the same environment at 300K. TH -15°C QH,HE QL,R HE W=1.5 kW R QL,HE QH,R 300 K Figure Q2 a. Calculate the temperature (TH) of the heat source, the rate of heat supplied (QH,HE) and heat removed (QL,HE) of the heat engine in kW. b. Calculate the coefficient of performance (COP) of the refrigerator, the rate of heat supplied (QL,R) and heat removed (QH,R) of the refrigerator in kW.

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 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.
