Problem No. 1:
There are removed 528 kJ/min of heat from a body a body by a refrigerator operating
between the limits of 244.5 K and 305.5 K. If its coefficient of performance is three
fourths of that of a Carnot refrigerator working between the same temperatures limits,
find (a) the heat rejected and (b) the power input in kW. (c) What are the COP and the
heat if this device is used to deliver heat?

Given :

T L =244.5 K
T H =305.5 K
COP=0.75

Problem No. 2:
The power requirement of a Carnot refrigerator in maintaining a low temperature region
at 238.9 K is 1.1 kW per TOR. Find (a) COP. (b) T H and (c) the heat delivered. (d) When
the device is used to deliver heat, what is its COP? Ans. 3.2, 313.3 K, 4.2

Problem No. 3:
Prove (demonstrate) that the COP for heating of a reversed Carnot cycle is equivalent
to its COP when used for refrigeration plus one; that is COP H = COPc + 1.
Given :
COP H =COPC +1

Solution :
QR
COP H =
W net
QA
COPC =
W net
W net =Q R−Q A

COP H =COPC +1

Therefore ;
