1) A reversible heat pump is used to maintain a

temperature of 0°C in a refrigerator when it rejects the


heat to the surroundings at 25°C. If the heat removal
rate from the refrigerator is 1440 kJ/min, determine
the C.O.P. of the machine and work input required.
(ii) If the required input to
run the pump is developed
by a reversible engine
which receives heat at 380°C
and rejects heat to atmosphere,
then determine the overall
C.O.P. of the system
2) An ice plant working on a reversed Carnot cycle heat
pump produces 15 tonnes of ice per day. The ice is
formed from water at 0°C and the formed ice is
maintained at 0°C. The heat is rejected to the
atmosphere at 25°C. The heat pump used to run the ice
plant is coupled to a Carnot engine which absorbs heat
from a source which is maintained at 220°C by burning
liquid fuel of 44500 kJ/kg calorific value
(fusion of ice = 334.5 kJ/kg) and
rejects the heat to the
atmosphere. Determine :
(i) Power developed
(ii) Fuel consumed / hour.
The amount of heat removed by the heat
pump,
