An ideal refrigerator keeps its content at `0^(@)C` while the room temperature is `27^(@)C` .Calculate its coefficient of performance.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Content placed at temperature `T_(L)=0^(@)C=0+273`
`T_(L)=273K`
Refrigerator placed at temperature `T_(H)=27^(@)C=27+273=300K`
Coefficient of performance `(beta)=(T_(L))/(T_(H)-T_(L))=(273)/(300-273)=(272)/(27), beta =10.11`
