A water fountain is designed to cool water initially at 24.9°C to a cool 8.2° C at an average rate of 35 L/hr. It is expected that the water reservoir will absorb 33 W of heat from the surroudings. The refrigeration system has a COP of 1.33. (Assume the water has a constant specific heat and density; use 0°C values.)
