Problem

A refrigerator extracts 1200 J1200\,\text{J} of heat per cycle from a cold compartment at 270 K270\,\text{K} and rejects it to the surroundings at 300 K300\,\text{K}. Assume ideal (reversible) performance. (a) Calculate the maximum possible coefficient of performance (COP). (b) Determine the minimum work that must be supplied to the refrigerator per cycle. (c) Find the amount of heat rejected to the surroundings per cycle.
