Question
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 =
=
= 10.44
Therefore, the coefficient of performance of the given refrigerator is 10.44.
Room temperature, T2 = 36°C = 309 K
Coefficient of performance =

=

= 10.44
Therefore, the coefficient of performance of the given refrigerator is 10.44.
