a) I) Define cop ii) define unit of refrigeration
b) 1.5KW per tonne of refrigeration is required to maintain the
temperatures of -400c in the refrigerator. If refrigeration cycle
1 works on Carnot cycle. Determine the following i)C.O.P ii)
temperature of sink iii) heat rejected to the sink per tonne of
refrigeration iv) heat supplied and E.P.R if the cycle is used as a
heat pump.
a) Explain the reversed Carnot cycle with the help of P-V and T-S
diagrams?
b) Two refrigerators A and B operate in series. The refrigerator A
absorbs energy at the rate of 1KJ/s from a body at temperature
300K and rejects energy as heat to a body at temperature T. the
2 refrigerator B absorbs the same quantity of energy which is
rejected by the refrigerator A from the body at temperature T, and
rejects energy as heat to a body at a temperature 1000k if both the
refrigerators have the same C.O.P calculate i) temperature T of the
body ii) the C.O.P of refrigerators, and the rate at which energy is
rejected as heat to the body at 1000k
