If the Coefficient of performance of a heat pump is 5, then what is the value of the Coefficient of performance of the refrigerator operating under the same conditions?

If the Coefficient of performance of a heat pump is 5, then what is the value of the Coefficient of performance of the refrigerator operating under the same conditions? Correct Answer 4

As we know, the equation between Coefficient of performance of Refrigerator and heat pump: (C.O.P.)R = (C.O.P.)P − 1 Hence, C.O.P. of refrigerator = C.O.P. of heat pump − 1 = 5 − 1 = 4.

Two refrigerators M and N operate in series. The refrigerator M absorbs energy at the rate of 1 kW from a body at temperature 400 K and rejects energy as heat to a body at a temperature T. The refrigerator N absorbs the same quantity of energy which is rejected by the refrigerator N from the body at temperature T, and rejects energy as heat to a body at temperature 800 K. If both the refrigerators have the same C.O.P., what is the value temperature T?
A heat pump is used to meet the heating requirements of a house and maintain it at 20°C.
