Question:

A refrigerator is operated by a 0.25-hp (1 hp = 746 watts) motor. If the interior is to be maintained at 4.50°C and the room temperature is 38°C, what is the maximum heat leak (in watts) that can be tolerated? Assume that the coefficient of performance is 50.% of the maximum theoretical value. What happens if the leak is greater than your calculated maximum value?
