An air conditioner is a refrigerator with the inside of the house acting as the cold reservoir and the outside atmosphere acting as the hot reservoir. Assume that an air conditioner consumes 1.20×103W of electrical power and that it can be idealized as a reversible Carnot refrigerator. The coefficient of performance of this device is 1.65. Assume that the interior temperature is 65.0 ∘F and the exterior temperature is 99.0 ∘F. The corresponding absolute temperature values for 65.0 and 99.0...

Suppose it is a particularly hot summer day and you want to make some popsicles to help cool off. You fill a popsicle mold with 0.15kg of juice (suppose it is the same thermal energy as water). The juice starts out at a temperature of 30 °C and the freezer will cool it to -20 °C. a. How much heat must be removed from the popsicles in order to bring them to their final temperature. b. Draw an energy flow...

Air conditioners sold in the United States are given a seasonal energy-efficiency ratio (SEER) rating that consumers can use to compare different models. A SEER rating is the ratio of heat pumped to energy input, similar to a COP but using English units, so a higher SEER rating means a more efficient model. You can determine the COP of an air conditioner by dividing the SEER rating by 3.4. For inside temperature 25 ∘C and outside temperature 36 ∘C when...
