A heat pump working on a reversed Carnot cycle has a C.O.P. of 5. It works as a refrigerator taking 1 kW of work input. The refrigerating effect will be
A. 1 kW
B. 2 kW
C. 3 kW
D. 4 kW
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
C.O.P. (heat pump) = 1 + C.O.P. (R effect) [R = Refrigeration]5 = 1 + C.O.P. (R effect)
C.O.P. (R effect) = 5 - 1.
C.O.P. (R effect) = 4.
