Co-efficient of performance of a Carnot cycle refrigerator operating between - 23°C and + 27°C is ________________?

Correct answer: B. 5

  • A. 3
  • B. 5
  • C. 0.5
  • D. 1.5

Explanation

For a Carnot refrigerator, COP equals Tₗ/(Tₕ−Tₗ), using absolute temperatures. Here Tₗ=250 K and Tₕ=300 K, giving COP=250/50=5.
