Solution :
Given :
The power of the air‐conditioning (AC) unit is , W = 0.434 kW
The coefficient of performance or the COP of the air‐conditioning (AC) unit is given by = 6.22
Therefore he heat removed is given by ,
Now if the electricity is valued at 0.10 dollar per kW hour, then the operating cost of the air conditioning unit in 24 hours is given by = 0.10 x 2.7 x 24
= 6.48
Therefore the operating cost = $ 6.48 for 24 hours.
