(a) What is the best coefficient of performance for a refrigerator that cools an environment at −30.0ºC and has heat transfer to

another environment at 45.0ºC ? (b) How much work in joules must be done for a heat transfer of 4186 kJ from the cold environment? (c) What is the cost of doing this if the work costs 10.0 cents per 3.60×106J (a kilowatt-hour)?

Answer:

a) 3.242

b) 1291.178 KJ

c) 3.59 cents

Explanation:

a) First all the temperature units should be in Kelvin. -30°C + 273.15 = 243.15K and 45°C + 273.15 = 318.15K. Coefficient of performance for refrigerator is COP = TL/(TH-TL) where TL is Lower Temperature and TH is the Higher Temperature. COP = 243.15/(318.15-243.15) = 3.242

b) COP  = Cooling Effect/Work Input. Cooling Effect (or Desired Output) is 4186 kJ.

So Work Input = Cooling Effect/COP = 4186KJ/3.242= 1291.178 KJ

c) 3.6 MJ (3600kJ) is for 10 cents, using ratio for cost: energy used

\frac{10}{3600 kJ} =\frac{x}{1291.178kJ}

3.59 cents

When an object of weight w is suspended from the center of a massless string?
igomit [66]
I attached a picture of the diagram associated with this question.

Now,
When we check the vertical components of the tension in the rope, we will find that we have two equal components acting upwards.
These two components support the weight and each of them has a value of TcosΘ

The net force acting on the body is zero.
Fnet=Force of tension acting upwards-Force due to weight acting downwards
0 = 2TcosΘ -W
W = 2TcosΘ
T = W / 2cosΘ
