In a household refrigerator, the condenser is vertically mounted at the outer back
of the unit, the freezer (evaporator) on the topmost compartment, and the
vegetable compartment at the very bottom. Explain why?
An inventor claims to have developed a refrigeration unit that maintains a cold space at -
100°C while operating in a room where the temperature is 25°C, and which has a
coefficient of performance (COP) of 6.5. Evaluate whether constructing such a unit is
possible.
A "cold room" used for low-temperature research is maintained at a constant temperature of 7.00°C. The refrigeration unit vents
to outdoor air which is at 27.0°C. The rate at which energy is exhausted to the outdoors is 18.0 kW. The coefficient of
performance (COP) of the refrigeration unit is equal to 40.0% of the COP of an ideal Carnot refrigerator.
(a) At what rate (in kW) does the refrigeration unit remove energy from the room? (Round your answer to at least two decimal
places.)
kW
(b) What is the power input (in kW) required by the refrigeration unit?
kW
(c) What is the entropy change of the Universe (in J/K) produced by the refrigeration unit after it operates for 3.00 h?
J/K
(d) If the outside temperature increases to 33.0°C, what is the percent change in the COP of the refrigeration unit? (Include the
sign of the value in your answer.)

- Why is it important to clean the condenser coils of a household refrigerator a few times a year? Also, why is it important not to block airflow through the condenser coils?arrow_forwardPlease evaluate these claims from your thermodynamic perspectives: i. An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that has thermal efficiency of 85% when operating between two heat reservoirs at 1200K and 300K. ii. An inventor claims to have developed a refrigerator that maintains the refrigerated space at -10°C while operating in a room where the temperature is 24°C and has a COP of 14.arrow_forwardEstimate the annual operating cost for a heat pump that delivers 30,000 BTU per hour of heat during winter and a similar rate of cooling during summer. Assume the heat pump operates 8 hours per day for 120 days in summer, and 12 hours per day for 120 days in winter. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) for summer cooling is 16 BTU/Wh, and the Heating Season Performance Factor (HSPF) for winter heating is 12 BTU/Wh.

Assume that the heat pump will be used to warm his room to 25°C, while the outside temperature is at 5°C. Lucas’ rooms loses 85,000 kJ/hr of heat.
