Heat given to a body which raises its temperature by 1^@C is

In a refrigerator one removes heat from a lower temperature and deposits to the surroundings at a higher temperature. In this process, mechanical work has to be done, which is provided by an electric motor. If the motor is of 1 kW power and heat is transferred from - 3^@ C to 27^@ C, find the heat taken out of the refrigerator per second assuming its efficiency is 50 % of a perfect engine.

Can a system be heated and its temperature remains constant ?

A Carnot engine works as a refrigerator in between 250K and 300K . If it acquires 750 calories form heat source at low temperature, then what is the heat generated at higher temperature (in calories)?

According to Newton's law, rate of cooling is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the body and the temperature of the air. If the temperature of the air is 20^(@)C and body cools for 20 min from 100^(@)C to 60^(@)C then the time it will take for it temperature to drop to 30^(@) is
