For a refrigerator,heat absorbed from the cold reservoir (sink) is $500\, J$ and heat rejected to the hot reservoir (source) is $800\, J$. The coefficient of performance is:

  • A
    $\frac{5}{8}$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{5}$

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. (in $kJ/s$)
