The motor of a certain refrigerator operates with a power of ¼ HP. As a result, the internal temperature of the refrigerator reaches – 20.0 °C, against a maximum outdoor temperature of 35.0 °C. Taking into account that the refrigerator is old, its maximum efficiency will only reach 75% of the estimated theoretical value. What is the maximum amount of heat that will be removed from inside the cooler if the engine runs for 45 minutes. Data:

Question

The motor of a certain refrigerator operates with a power of ¼ HP. As a result, the internal temperature of the refrigerator reaches – 20.0 °C, against a maximum outdoor temperature of 35.0 °C. Taking into account that the refrigerator is old, its maximum efficiency will only reach 75% of the estimated theoretical value. What is the maximum amount of heat that will be removed from inside the cooler if the engine runs for 45 minutes. Data:

1 HP → 10.688 kcalmin-1; power setting: how quickly work gets done.
