In a refrigerator,one removes heat from a lower temperature and deposits it to the surroundings at a higher temperature. In this process,mechanical work has to be done,which is provided by an electric motor. If the motor is of $1\,kW$ power and heat is transferred from $-3\,^{\circ}C$ to $27\,^{\circ}C$,find the heat taken out of the refrigerator per second,assuming its efficiency is $50\%$ of a perfect engine.

Why can the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator never be infinite?

For a refrigerator,heat absorbed from the cold reservoir (sink) is $500\, J$ and heat rejected to the hot reservoir (source) is $800\, J$. The coefficient of performance is:

$A$ Carnot engine,having an efficiency of $\eta = 1/10$ as a heat engine,is used as a refrigerator. If the work done on the system is $10 \ J$,the amount of energy absorbed from the reservoir at a lower temperature is ....... $J$.

$A$ refrigerator of coefficient of performance $5$ that extracts heat from the cooling compartment at the rate of $250 \ J$ per cycle is placed in a room. The heat released per cycle to the room by the refrigerator is (in $J$)
