Calculate Coefficient of Performance of Refrigerator





Formula

The formula to calculate the Coefficient of Performance of Refrigerator (COPRefrigerator) is:

\[ \text{COP}_{\text{Refrigerator}} = \frac{Q_{\text{low}}}{RW} \]

Definition

The Coefficient of Performance of Refrigerator is defined as heat at a lower temperature per unit of work. Heat from Low Temperature Reservoir is the heat of the material at a lower temperature. Refrigerator work is the work done by the refrigerator in an interval of temperature change.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{COP}_{\text{Refrigerator}} = \frac{200}{1000} \approx 0.2 \]

The Coefficient of Performance of Refrigerator is approximately 0.2.
