Question

Calculate the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator working between  -10oc to  20oc is

Moderate
Solution

temperature of source is  T1=20+273=293 K (converting into kelvin scale) temperature of sink is T2=-10+273=263 K

For Refrigerator

  coefficient of performance is β=T2T1-T2  substitute the given values β=263293263=26330  β=8.77
