In a refrigerator, the power rating impressed on the compressor is 1.2 kW. The circulating wire in the evaporator is 5 kW and the cooling water took away 10 kW from
the condenser coil. The operating temperatures range is 18ºC and 0ºC and their corresponding latent heats are 170 kJ/kg and 230 kJ/kg and the difference between the liquid energy is 35 kJ/kg. Find the actual COP of the system (2) relative COP, assuming the vapor is just dry and saturated at the end of the compression.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To find the actual COP of the refrigeration system we need to use the following formula COP refrigeration effect work input where the refrigeration ef... View the full answer
