Chapter 01

This document contains solutions to three problems involving reversed Carnot cycles. The first problem determines the COP, power required, and refrigerating effect given heat rejected and temperatures. The second problem calculates temperature ratios and maximum refrigerating effect given COP and power input. The third problem finds the power required given heat removed and temperatures of the heat sink and reservoir.

1. A reversed Carnot cycle is used for refrigeration and rejects 1,000 kW of heat at 340 K while
receiving heat at 250 K. Determine (a) the COP, (b) the power required, and (c) the refrigerating
effect.
Solution:

Th = 340 K , Tc = 250 K
Q& R = 1000 kW

2. A reversed Carnot cycle has a refrigerating COP of 4. (a) What is the ratio Tmax Tmin ? (b) If the work
input is 6 kW, what will be the maximum refrigerating effect, kJ/min and tons.

3. A reversed Carnot engine removes 40,000 kW from a heat sink. The temperature of the heat sink is
260 K and the temperature of the heat reservoir is 320 K. Determine the power required of the
engine.
Solution:

QA = 40,000 kW
Tmin = 260 K
Tmax = 320 K
