Answer:
investor claim is acceptable
Explanation:
given data
Win = 0.25 kW
Qc = 3000 J/s = 3kW
Th = 293 K
Tc = 270 K
solution
we get here coefficient of performance of cycle is
coefficient of performance = [tex]\frac{Qc}{Win}[/tex] ..................1
put here value and we get
coefficient of performance = [tex]\frac{3}{0.25}[/tex]
coefficient of performance = 1.2
and
coefficient of performance of ideal refrigeration is
coefficient of performance = [tex]\frac{Tc}{Th-Tc}[/tex] ..................2
coefficient of performance = [tex]\frac{270}{293-270}[/tex]
coefficient of performance = 11.74
and
we can see here that coefficient of performance of ideal refrigeration is is more than real cycle coefficient of performance
so investor claim is acceptable
