When does any refrigerator or heat pump work ?

The probabilities of new purchased television and refrigerator will be working 10 years hence are (7)/(15) and (7)/(10) respectively. The probability that both will not be working 10 years hence is ………..

Explain working of refrigerators/heat pumps and its coefficient of performance.

Refrigerator is an apparatus which takes heat from a cold body, work is done on it and the work done together with the heat absorbed is rejected to the source. An ideal refrigerator can be regarded as Carnot's ideal heat engine working in the reverse direction. The coefficient of performance of refrigerator is defined as beta = ("Heat extracted from cold reservoir")/("work done on working substance") = (Q_(2))/(W) = (Q_(2))/(Q_(1)- Q_(2)) = (T_(2))/(T_(1) - T_(2)) A Carnot's refrigerator takes heat from water at 0^(@)C and discards it to a room temperature at 27^(@)C . 1 Kg of water at 0^(@)C is to be changed into ice at 0^(@)C. (L_(ice) = 80"kcal//kg") What is the work done by the refrigerator in this process ( 1 "cal" = 4.2 "joule" )

The temperature inside and outside a refrigerator are 273 K and 300 K respectively. Assuming that the refrigerator cycle is reversible. For every joule of work done heat delivered to the surrounding will be nearly :-

The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is 5. If the temperature inside freezer is - 20^@ C , the temperature of the surroundings to which it rejects heat is _____
