The figure-of-merit indicating the quality of a refrigeration unit is usually the coefficient of performance
COP ≡ heat absorbed/net work put in
What is the COP for this magnetic refrigeration device?
(use wnet = 100 J/mol)
Problem 2
A window air conditioner consumes 0.8 kW of electricity during steady-state operation. If the COP of the
air conditioner is 3, calculate the rate at which the AC unit removes thermal energy from the room. If
this is a Carnot air conditioner and the room is maintained at 27°C, what is the outside temperature? Do
you think this is a Carnot AC unit?
Explain the Thomson effect, and the figure of merit for thermoelectric materials.
