At steady state, a refrigeration cycle operates between hot and cold reservoirs at 300K and 275K respectively. The refrigerator removes 600 kW of heat from the cold reservoir. If the cycle's coefficient of performance is 4, determine the power input required in kW. Compare this with the minimum theoretical power required in kW.
