1. A domestic food freezer maintains a temperature of - 15C. The ambient

air is at 30C. If the heat leaks into the freezer at a continuous rate of
1.75 kJ/s, what is the least power necessary to pump the heat out
continuously?
(3)
2. A refrigerator working on reversed Carnot cycle requires 0.5 kW per kW of
cooling to maintain a temperature of -15C. Determine the following:
a) COP of the refrigerator
b) Temperature at which heat is rejected
(4)

3. Air in a closed vessel of fixed volume 0.15 m (m=1.2 kg) exerts pressure
of 12 bar at 250C. If the vessel is cooled so that the pressure falls to
3.5bar, determine the final temperature and heat transfer (Q).
CP=1.005 kJ/kg K.

Given Data:
V = 0.15 m
1

p = 12 bar = 1200 KN/m p = 3.5 bar = 350 KN/m

T = 250C = 273+250 = 523 K
2

To find:
1) The final pressure,

2) Heat transfer
3) Change of entropy.
Solution:
