A refrigerator is to maintain eatables kept inside at 9°C. If the room temperature is 36° C, calculate the coefficient of performance.

Solution
Temperature inside the refrigerator, T1 = 9°C = 282 K 
Room temperature, T2 = 36°C = 309 K 
Coefficient of performance = fraction numerator straight T subscript 1 over denominator left parenthesis straight T subscript 2 space minus space straight T subscript 1 right parenthesis end fraction 
                                        =fraction numerator 282 over denominator left parenthesis 309 space minus space 282 right parenthesis end fraction
 
                                         = 10.44 
Therefore, the coefficient of performance of the given refrigerator is 10.44.
