A certain brand of freezer is advertised to use 730 kW•h of energy per year. (a) Assuming the freezer operates for 5 hours each day, how much power does it require while operating?

Freezing a kilogram of water, initially at 20°C, requires your refrigerator to remove about $417\mathrm{kJ}$ of thermal energy from the water. If the coefficient of performance of your refrigerator is 5.0, how much heat is exhausted into your kitchen when you freeze a kilogram of water?

What is the maximum possible coefficient of performance for a refrigerator operating between 2.0°C (a typical refrigerator temperature) and 20°C (a typical kitchen temperature)?

A certain brand of freezer is advertised to use 730 kW•h of energy per year. (c) What is the theoretical maximum amount of ice this freezer could make in an hour, starting with water at 20.0°C?

A refrigerator has a coefficient of performance of 2.25, runs on an input of 135 W of electrical power, and keeps its inside compartment at 5°C. If you put a dozen 1.0-L plastic bottles of water at 31°C into this refrigerator, how long will it take for them to be cooled down to 5°C? (Ignore any heat that leaves the plastic.)

The coefficient of performance K = H/P is a dimensionless quantity. Its value is independent of the units used for H and P, as long as the same units, such as watts, are used for both quantities. However, it is common practice to express H in Btu/h and P in watts. When these mixed units are used, the ratio H/P is called the energy efficiency ratio (EER). If a room air conditioner has K = 3.0, what is its EER?

Home air conditioners in the United States have their power specified in the truly obscure units of tons, where 1 ton is the power needed to melt 1 ton (2000 lb or 910 kg) of ice in 24 hours. A modest-size house typically has a 4.0 ton air conditioner. If a 4.0 ton air conditioner has a coefficient of performance of 2.5, a typical value, at what rate in kW is heat energy removed from the house?

100 mL of water at 15℃ is placed in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator with a coefficient of performance of 4.0. How much heat energy is exhausted into the room as the water is changed to ice at -15℃?
