Reversed carnot refrigeration system has an evaporator temp of -5 degrees celsius and condenser temperature of 45 degrees celsius . Find the performance factor it it will operate in a heat pump.
Added by Deborah H.
Step 1
First, we need to convert the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin. Evaporator temperature: $-5^\circ\text{C} + 273.15 = 268.15\text{K}$ Condenser temperature: $45^\circ\text{C} + 273.15 = 318.15\text{K}$ Show more…
