1. A household refrigerator with a COP of 1.

2 removes heat from the


refrigerated space at a rate of 60 kJ/min. Determine (a) the electric power
consumed by the refrigerator and (b) the rate of heat transfer to the
kitchen air.

2. A heat engine is operating on a Carnot cycle and has a thermal efficiency


of 75 percent. The waste heat from this engine is rejected to a nearby lake
at 150 C at a rate of 800 kJ/min. determine (a) the power output of the
engine and (b) the temperature of the source.

3. A refrigeration system uses water-cooled condenser for rejecting the


waste heat. The system absorbs heat from a space at -50 C at a rate of
24,000 kJ/h. Water enters the condenser at 150 C at a rate of 0.65 kg/s.
The COP of the system is estimated to be 1.77. Determine (a) the power
input to the system, in kW, (b) the temperature of the water at the exit of
the condenser, in 0C and (c) the maximum possible COP of the system.
The specific heat of water is 4.18 kJ/kg0C.

4. A Carnot heat engine receives heat at 900K and rejects the waste heat to the
environment at 300K. The entire work output of the heat engine is used to drive a
Carnot refrigerator that removes heat from the cooled space at -150 C at a rate of
250 kJ/min and rejects it to the same environment at 300K. Determine (a) the
rate of heat supplied to the heat engine and (b) the total rate of heat rejection to
the environment.

5. A heat engine operates between two reservoirs at 800 and 20 0 C. One-


half of the work output of the heat engine is used to drive a Carnot heat
pump that removes heat from the cold surroundings at 20 C and transfers
it to a house maintained at 220 C. If the house is losing heat at a rate of
62,000kJ/h, determine the minimum rate of heat supply to the heat engine
required to keep the house at 220 C.
