Electric Resistance Heating. A house that is losing heat at a rate of 50,000 kJ/h when the outside temperature drops to 4 0C is to be heated by electric resistance heaters. If the house is to be maintained at 25 0C, determine the reversible work input for this process and the irreversibility.

Acarnot refrigerator operates in a room in which the temperature is 21°c and of power when operating. if the food compartment of the refrigerator is consumes 3 kw to be maintained at 2°c, determine (a) the coefficient of performance of the cycle and (b) the rate of heat removal from the food compartment. refrigerator cycle that has a higher coefficient of performance than that of the discussed (e) is it possible to develop a carn ot refrigerator, operating between the same temperature limits? explain
