6-171 An air-conditioning system operating on the reversed Carnot cycle is required to remove heat from the house at a rate
of 32kJs to keep its temperature constant at 20C. If the temperature of the outdoors is 35C, the power required to operate this air-conditioning system is
(a)0.58 kW
(b)3.20 kW
(c)1.56 kW
(d)2.26 kW
(e)1.64 kW
6-172 A refrigerator is removing heat from a cold medium at 3C at a rate of 5400kJh and rejecting the waste heat to a medium at 30C. If the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is 2, the power consumed by the refrigerator is
(a)0.5 kW
(b)0.75 kW
(c)1.0 kW
(d)1.5 kW
(e)3.0 kW
6-173 Two Carnot heat engines are operating in series such that the heat sink of the first engine serves as the heat source of the second one. If the source temperature of the first engine is 1300 K and the sink temperature of the second engine is 300 K and the thermal efficiencies of both engines are the same, the temperature of the intermediate reservoir is
(a)625 K
(b)800 K
(c)860 K
(d)453 K
(e)758 K
6-174 A typical new household refrigerator consumes about 680 kWh of electricity per year and has a coefficient of performance of 1.4. The amount of heat removed by this refrigerator from the refrigerated space per year is
(a)952MJyr
(b)1749MJyr
(c)2448MJyr
(d)3427MJyr
(e)4048MJyr
