An ice maker operating at steady state makes ice from liquid water at 32°F. Assume that 144 Btu/lb of energy must be removed by heat transfer to freeze water at 32°F and that the surroundings are at 79.0°F. The ice maker consumes 1.4 kW of power. Determine the maximum rate that ice can be produced, in Ib/h, the corresponding rate of heat rejection to the surroundings, in Btu/h, and the maximum coefficient of performance of the cycle.

Entropy

In physics, entropy means the amount of disorder or the degree of randomness associated with a thermodynamic system. The system is not self-organized when the entropy of the system is high. For instance, when a system is at an elevated temperature, its molecules are in random motion, vibrating and colliding with each other. During this scenario, the probability of finding a molecule at a particular place twice, is low. Under this circumstance, the system can be said to be in a high entropy.
