Question

A refrigerator is operated by a 0.25hp(1hp0.25-\mathrm{hp}(1 \mathrm{hp}= 746 watts)746\ watts) motor. If the interior is to be maintained at 4.50C4.50^{\circ} \mathrm{C} and the room temperature on a hot day is 38C38^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, what is the maximum heat leak (in wattswatts) that can be tolerated? Assume that the coefficient of performance is 50%50 \% of the maximum theoretical value. What happens if the leak is greater than your calculated maximum value?

GIVEN:

A P=0.25 hpP=0.25 \text{ hp} engine powers a refrigerator. The interior temperature is maintained at T1=4.5CT_1=4.5 ^\circ \text{C} while the surroundings temperature is T2=38CT_2=38 ^\circ \text{C}. The refrigerator operates at 50%50\% of the maximum theoretical efficiency. Unit of horsepower is related to Watts in the following way: 1 hp=746 W1 \text{ hp} =746 \text{ W}.
