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?

An air conditioner removes 5.0 x 10⁵ J/min of heat from a house and exhausts 8.0 x 10⁵ J/min to the hot outdoors.b. What is the air conditioner's coefficient of performance?

What are (a) the heat extracted from the cold reservoir and (b) the coefficient of performance for the refrigerator shown in FIGURE EX21.21?

A freezer with a coefficient of performance 30% that of a Carnot refrigerator keeps the inside temperature at -22℃ in a 25℃ room. 3.0 L of water at 20℃ are placed in the freezer. How long does it take for the water to freeze if the freezer's compressor does work at the rate of 200 W while the water is freezing?

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 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?

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.)
