A household refrigerator has a freezer at TF and a cold space at TC from which energy is removed and rejected to the ambient at TA Assume that the rate of heat transfer from the cold space, Q. C, is the same as from the freezer, QF, find an expression for the minimum power into the heat pump.
find an expression for the minimum power into the heat pump. Evaluate this power when TA = 20°C, TC = 5°C, TF = -= −10°C, and Q. F = 3 kW.
