the refrigerator can maintain its interior temperature of 5oC.
if the owner decides to put the refrigerator where the outside temperature is 20oC.
then COP of the refrigerator will be
(COP)1 = TL / ( TH - TL)
= ( 273 + 5 ) / ( 20 - 5 )
= 18.53
now if owner decides to put the refrigerator to the garage where average temperature is 10oC
then COP of refrigerator will be
(COP)2 = TL / ( TH - TL)
= ( 273 + 5 ) / ( 10 - 5 )
= 55.6
since (COP)2
(COP)1 thus refrigerator will work efficiently when it is placed
in garage. thus owner should place refrigerator in garage.

1. Calculate (a) the maximum performance factor of a refrigerator between an inside temperature of -10°C and outside at STP and (b) the minimum amount of work to remove 100 of heat from inside the refrigerator
10. The manager of a local restaurant is trying to decide whether to buy a charcoal broiling unit or an electric grill for cooking hamburgers. A market study shows customers prefer charcoal broiling, but the unit is more expensive. The manager's MARR is 20%. The manager estimates the costs and net benefits from the two alternatives as follows: End of year Broiler Grill $2,200 1,450 +990 +710 1-5 Use incremental rate of return analysis to determine which alternative the manager...
5-111 Consider a refrigerator whose outer dimensions are 1.80 m x 0.8 m × 0.7 m. The walls of the refrigerator are constructed of 3-cm-thick urethane insulation (k = 0.026 W m K and α = 0.36 × 10-6 m2/s) sandwiched between two layers of sheet metal with negligible thickness. The refrigerated space is maintained at 3°C and the average heat transfer coefficients at the inner and outer surfaces of the wall are 6 W/m2 K and 9 W/m2.K, respectively....
Your boss is trying to decide whether to buy out a rival company, and asks for your advice. The boss says that the rival will be bought if there is evidence that the rival is operating inefficiently (your company will then improve its efficiency and increase profits). The rival will not be bought if there is evidence that the rival is already operating efficiently. Your boss gives you the following data on the rival's operations: average product of labor =...
Consider a situation where a firm is trying to decide on whether or not they should agree to a contract to invest in a project. They’re uncertain of the outcome of the project before agreeing to the terms. If the firm agrees to the contract and the project is successful they will receive $120. If the firm agrees to the contract and the project fails they will lose $40. If the firm rejects the contract they will receive $0 regardless...
30 points / A taken from a 30 °C environment and laid out in a refrigerator at 5 °C. They have approximately the same physical properties as water, and the heat transfer coefficient inside the refrigerator is approximately 10 W/m2-K. You can neglect any thermal radiation. dozen approximately cylindrical cucumbers, 4 cm in diameter and 12 cm in length, are What will the temperature of the centers of the apples be after one hour? How much energy will the refrigerator...
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is trying to decide whether it should "hot patch" a short section of an existing road or "resurface" it. If the "hot patch" method is used, approximately 350 yds of material will be required at a cost of $575lyd (overall cost). Additionally, the shoulders will have to be improved at the same time at a cost of $25,000. T hese improvements will last three (3) years at which time they will have to be...
4. Refrigeration and air conditioning is quite useful, but it is, in effect, a way to move heat from a low temperature to a high temperature. Is this possible, given the second law? Answer the following questions below, for R-134a (a common refrigerant), and then state whether you believe refrigeration violates the second law, and why (or why not) a. R-134a arrives to the inside of the refrigerator that you are trying to keep cooled to T- 4°C. The air...
