A carnot refrigeration cycle absorbs heat at270Kand rejects heat at 300K. If the cycle is absorbing 1260KJ/minat 270K, then work required per second is :
Given that,
TemperatureT1=270K
TemperatureT2=300K
Absorbed heat Q=1260KJ/min=21KJ/s
We know that,
Coefficient of performance is
C.O.P =T2T2−T1
C.O.P=270300−270
C.O.P=9
Using formula of work done
C.O.P=QW
W=219
W=2.33KJ/s
The work required is2.33KJ/s.
Hence, This is the required solution.
