23. The Second Law of Thermodynamics Refrigerators
6PRACTICE PROBLEM
Consider 1 ton is the amount of heat required to melt 1 ton (2000 lb or 910 kg) of ice in 24 hours. A small-scale storage facility has a 2.5-ton refrigeration system with a coefficient of performance (COP) of 2.7. Assuming the refrigeration system operates at its typical performance, what is the rate of heat energy removal from the storage in kilowatts?
