A refrigerator is to remove 15 kW of heat from a cool space. Plot the power required to do so for coefficients of performance ranging between 1.5 and 10.

Given: Q?C = 15 kW


What will be an ideal response?


|W?|=Q?C?

For the range of coefficients of performance (noting that the power in reality is negative as it is into the system, but will be plotted here as the absolute value) given:



The more efficient the refrigerator, the less power is needed to operate it.
