Temperature of cooling chamber of refrigerator is kept at T1 = 280 K. If the surrounding temperature 1.5 times the temperature of cooling chamber, find the COP of refrigerator.
Now, if the surrounding temperature is 1.4 times the cooling chamber temperature, what is new COP?
2) The energy consumed by a shower for 30 days is 22kwh. It is known that the resistance of
the showerhead is 20 ohms and that its nominal current is 15A. So, what is the time in minutes
that the shower was turned on during this period?
There are 40 people sitting in a 20°C room with 60 m? area and 3 m height ceiling. A single
person produces about 120 W body heat, and you worry that the room will get hot, so you
switch on the AC. Theoretically, at least how much power does it need to run the AC (a heat
pump) cooling this extra body heat if the outside temperature is 40 C?

- How many Btu/h would be produced in a 12-kW electricheater?arrow_forwardQuestion 2. A household with electric resistance heating plans to switch from resistive heating to a ground source heat pump. Annual heat consumption of the house is 30 000 kWh. Investment cost of the heat pump is 21 000 €. Heat pumps COP is 4.0. How much are the annual savings compared to resistive heating after the change of the heating system (in kWh)? Average price of electricity is assumed to be 12 c/kWh. Round off your answer to one decimal digit and enter it without the unit.arrow_forwardA constant temperature of -125 C must be maintained in a cryogenic experiment, although it gains 120 W due to heat transfer.

- I am trying to find the temperature of the room after 5 hours the room has a volume of 5 m^3 with an initail pressure of 100 kPa and 30 deg C. There is also a 130 Watt fan that is running in the room for the duration of that time. I am trying to find the final temperature of the room but I keep getting final temperatures such as 800 deg C.arrow_forwardYou are considering two heaters in your house which must provide 10kW of heating. You expect to run it for 100 days per year, 16 hours per day. The first heater is gas and has an effiency of 40% but gas costs .01 cents per kWhr (kilowatt - hour) The electric heater is 82% efficient but the cost of electricity is .03 cents per kWhr Which is the cheaper option?arrow_forwardA 2-kW electric resistance heater in a room is turned on and kept on for 30 min.
