Two students discuss the refrigerator shown on the previous page: Student 1: 'I don't think the refrigerator could work because its coefficient of performance is 300/200 = 1,5, which is greater than one." %3D Student 2: I agree. The heat transfer from the low temperature reservoir is greater than the work done. At best this heat transfer is equal to the work done, so this refrigerator violates the second law of thermodynamics." Explain why you agree or disagree with the statements made by the students.

The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator, K, is a measure of the energy transferred
from a low temperature reservoir for each joule of work done by the environment during every
cycle. Thus, it is defined as K =IQL (10 sy9)/\Won sy!-
