A refrigerator has a coefficient of performance of 2. The ice (cice = 2090 J/kg.°C) tray compartment is at-18 C, and the room temperature is 48°C. The refrigerator can convert 4.47 g of water (cwater =4186 J/kg. °C) at 48°C to 4.47 g of ice at-18°C each minute. What input power (in W) is required? (Answer in 2 decimal places)
