The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is 5 . If the temperature inside the freezer is - 20 ° C , the temperature of the surrounding to which it rejects heat is:
Options
- A41  ° C
- B11  ° C
- C21  ° C
- D31  ° C
Correct answer
D. 31  ° C
Step-by-step solution
Coefficient of Performance = q 2 w = q 2 q 1 - q 2 = T c T H - T C = 5 T C = 5 T H - 5 T c 6 T c = 5 T H T H = 6 5   × 253   K = 303.6   K = 30.6   ° C = 31   ° C
