A refrigeration system has an estimated COP of 2.0. It absorbs heat from a refrigerated space at 490R at rate of 500 Btu/min. The system uses water-cooled condenser for rejecting the waste heat and the water at 80 lbm/min (specific heat is 1.0 Btu/lbm-F) has an inlet temperature of the condenser is 530F. Calculate the power input to the system in hp, and the maximum possible COP of the system.
