(N/A) refrigerator is a heat pump that extracts heat from a cold reservoir and rejects it into a hot reservoir by performing external work.
Schematic representation:
$1$. $T_H$ (Hot reservoir/Surroundings)
$2$. $Q_H$ (Heat rejected to surroundings)
$3$. $W$ (Work done by the compressor)
$4$. $T_L$ (Cold reservoir/Inside the refrigerator)
$5$. $Q_L$ (Heat extracted from the cold reservoir)
The cycle is represented as:
$Q_L + W = Q_H$
Diagram description:
- $A$ box labeled $T_L$ (Cold reservoir) releases $Q_L$ energy to the system.
- The system performs work $W$ on the refrigerant.
- The system releases $Q_H$ energy to the box labeled $T_H$ (Hot reservoir),where $T_H > T_L$.

In a refrigerator,heat is removed from a low-temperature reservoir and deposited at a high-temperature reservoir. This requires mechanical work,which is provided by an electric motor. If the motor power is $1 \ kW$ and heat is transferred from $-3^{\circ} C$ to $27^{\circ} C$,calculate the heat removed from the refrigerator per second,assuming the efficiency is $50\%$ of the ideal Carnot refrigerator.

$A$ Carnot freezer takes heat from water at $0\,^{\circ}C$ inside it and rejects it to the room at a temperature of $27\,^{\circ}C$. The latent heat of ice is $336 \times 10^3\, J\,kg^{-1}$. If $5\, kg$ of water at $0\,^{\circ}C$ is converted into ice at $0\,^{\circ}C$ by the freezer,then the energy consumed by the freezer is close to
