Question Paper

1. Select the correct answer from the given four alternatives for the following questions:

The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator working on Carnot cycle is

T1 -T2 /T1

T1-T2/T2

T2

T1

where T1 and T2 are the highest and lowest operating temperatures in the cycle.

In a one ton capacity water cooler, water enters at 30°C at the rate of 200 litres per hour. Taking specific heat of water at 4.16 kJ/kg the outlet temperature of water will be

3.5°C

6.3°C

23.7°C

15°C

An ideal refrigerator is operating between a condenser temperature of -37°C and an evaporator temperature of -3°C. If the machine is functioning as a heat pump, its coefficient of performance will be

6.00
