On a hot summer day the temperature inside is house is `T_(0)` and the outside temperature is `T_(0) + Delta T`. How does the energy consumed by the air conditioner depend on `T_(0)` and `Delta T` ? Assume that the air conditioner operates ideally at its maximum coefficient of performance.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Energy consumed `prop ((DeltaT)^(2))/(T_(0))`
