The ratio of heat extracted in the refrigerator to the work-done on the refrigerant is called
A. Coefficient of performance of refrigeration
B. Coefficient of performance of heat pump
C. Relative coefficient of performance
D. Refrigerating efficiency
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The efficiency of a refrigerator or heat pump is given by a parameter called the coefficient of performance (C.O.P.).The C.O.P. of a refrigerator is given by the following equation:
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{C}}{\text{.O}}{\text{.P}}{\text{.}} = \frac{{{\text{Desired Output}}}}{{{\text{Required Input}}}} \cr & = \frac{{{\text{Cooling Effect}}}}{{{\text{Work Input}}}} \cr & = \frac{{{\text{QL}}}}{{\text{W}}} \cr} $$
