A refrigerator works between 4^@C and 30^@C. It is required to remove 600 calories of heat every second in order to keep the temperature of the refrigerated space constant. The power required is _____ (1 cal = 4.2 Joules)

Answer»

23.65 W
236.5 W
2365 W
2.365 W

Solution :`T_1`=4+273=277 K
`T_2`=30+273=303 K
`Q_1`=-600 CAL
`rArr` For REFRIGERATOR `Q_1/Q_2=T_1/T_2`
`therefore (Q_2+W)/Q_2=T_1/T_2 [ because Q_1=Q_2+W]`
`therefore 1+W/Q_2=277/303`
`therefore W=(277/303-1)Q_2`
`=-26/303xx(-600xx4.2)`
`=(26xx600xx4.2)/303`
=216.2 W
`APPROX` 236.5 W, closest value.
