The refrigerator shown in Fig operates at
Refrigerator
B = 4.5
steady state with a coefficient of performance of 4.5
and a power input of 0.8 kW. Energy is rejected from
the refrigerator to the surroundings at 20°C by heat
transfer from metal coils whose average surface
temperature is 28°C.
Surroundings, 20°C
- Coils, 28°C
Determine
(a) the rate energy that is rejected, in kW.
(b) the lowest theoretical temperature inside the
refrigerator, in K.
(c) the maximum theoretical power, in kW, that could
be developed by a power cycle operating between the
coils and the surroundings. Would you recommend
making use of this opportunity for developing power?
