Question

The temperature inside a refrigerator is t20Cand the room temperature is t10C. The amount of heat delivered to the room for each joule of electrical energy consumed ideally will be

Moderate
Solution

Temperature inside refrigerator t20C Room temperature t10C

For refrigerator,

 Heat given to high temperature Q1 Heat taken from lower temperature Q2=T1T2

Q1Q2=t1+273t2+273

Q1Q1-W=t1+273t2+273 or, 1-WQ1=t2+273t1+273

 or WQ1=t1-t2t1+273

The amount of heat delivered to the room for each joule of electrical energy (W=1 J)

Q1=t1+273t1-t2
