A Carnot refrigerator transfers heat from its inside (5.63 oC) to the room air outside (22.0 oC). (a) Find the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator. (b) Determine the magnitude of the minimum work needed to cool 5.84 kg of water from 22.0 to 5.63 oC when it is placed in the refrigerator.
Homework Answers
Answer #1
Inside temperature = TC = 5.63 oC = 278.63 K
Outside temperature = TH = 22 oC = 295 K
COP = 17.02
Mass of water = m = 5.84 kg
Initial temperature of water = T1 = 22 oC
Final temperature of water = T2 = 5.63 oC
Specific heat of water = Cw = 4186 J/(kg.K)
Heat to be removed to cool the water = QC
QC = mCw(T1 - T2)
QC = (5.84)(4186)(22 - 5.63)
QC = 400184.95 J
Work done to cool the water by the refrigerator = W
W = 23512.63 J
a) Coefficient of performance = 17.02
b) Magnitude of work needed to cool 5.84 kg of water from 22oC to 5.63oC when placed in the refrigerator = 23512.63 J

1. You need design a freezer that will keep the temperature
inside a -5.0 C and will operate with a temperature inside at 5.0 C
and will operate in a room with a temperature of 22.0 C. The
freezer is to make 20.0 kg of ice at 0.0 C starting with water at
20.0 C. For water, the specific heat is 4190 J/kg-K, the heat of
fusion is 333 kj/kg.

out a new one with a coefficient of performance of 4.35. I haven’t
gotten it hooked up to the water line yet (for the ice maker), but
I really wanted ice. Time for some physics! I put 1.88 kg of water
in the freezer. It had converted completely to ice when I looked
again in one hour. The initial temperature of the water was 20.8˚C.
