01 A Carnot cycle operates between sources and sinks temperature of 250 0C and -150C.

If the
system receives 90 kJ from the source, find (I) efficiency of the system (ii) The net work
transfer and (iii) Net heat rejected to the sink.
Given :
T1= 2500C =250+273=523K, T2=-150C =258K, Q=90 KJ
The efficiency of the Carnot cycle is given by

The efficiency of the Carnot cycle is also given by

03 A household refrigerator is maintained at a temperature of 2 0C. Every time the door is


opened, warm material placed inside, introducing an average of 420 kJ, but making only a
small change in temperature of the refrigerator. The door is opened 20 times a day, and the
refrigerator operates at 15% of the ideal COP. The cost of work is Rs.250 per kWh. What is
the monthly bill for this refrigerator? The atmospheric is at 300C
Given :
T1= 20C =275K, T2300C =303K, n=20, q=420 KJ
The COP of the refrigerator is given by

The actual COP of the refrigerator is given by

Heat input to the refrigerator,


Q= N*q=20*420= 8400 kJ/day

Monthly bill =

*30 days *2.50 Rs/kWh= Rs 118.80

04 A Carnot refrigerator consumes 200W of power is summer when the ambient temperature
is 400C.the rate energy leak into the refrigerator is estimated at 20W per degree Celsius
temperature deference between the ambient atmosphere and the cold space of the
refrigerator. If the refrigerator is continually operated determine the temperature at which
the cold space is maintained.
