Refrigerationa.) Explain why you can’t cool down your kitchen by leaving your refrigerator or freezer door open with your refrigerator plugged in for an extended period of time.b.) The condenser of a home refrigerator is commonly underneath the appliance, thus the condensing refrigerant exchanges heat with household air, which averages 70oF. It is proposed toreconfigure a refrigerator so that the condenser is in the garage, where the average yearly temperature is about 50oF. Assume a freezer temperature of 0oF, a minimum temperature difference of 10K for heat transfer, and an actual coefficient of performance of 60% that of a Carnot cycle. Calculate the Coefficient of Performance for both configurations and discuss the pros and cons of this proposal.c.) Which is the most effective way to increase the coefficient of performance of a Carnot refrigerator: to increase TC with TH held constant or to decrease TH with TC held constant?
