A refrigerator transfers heat from the cold coling coils to the warm surroundings. Is it against the second law of thermodynamics? Justify your answer? |
| Answer» Correct Answer - According to the second law of thermodynamics, the heat energy by itself flow form a body at low temperature to a body at high temperature. However, it can flow, if some external agent performs work to do so. In a refrigerator, the external work performed by its compressor transfers heat from the cold cooling coils to the warm surroundings and therefore it is not aganist the second law of thermocynamics. | |
