A refrigeration cycle operates between the freezer compartment at 268K and the ambient air at 295K. The rate of heat transfer from the freezer compartment is 8000 kJ/h and the power input for the cycle is 3200 kJ/h. Determine the entropy production for this cycle in kJ/K·h (do not convert h to s). Enter the answer without units, but with a minus sign if applicable. This cycle operates irreversibly reversibly impossibly.
