(a) A freezer maintains an interior temperature inside of -30.0°C and has a coefficient of performance of 3.00. The freezer sits in a room with a temperature of 16.0°C. The freezer is able to completely convert 24.0 g of liquid water at 16.0°C to ice at -30.0°C in one minute. What input power (in watts) does the freezer require? (The specific heat of liquid water is 4.186 J/(g - °C), the specific heat of ice is 2.090 J/(g - °C), and the latent heat of fusion of water is 334 J/g.) w (b) What If? In reality, only part of the power consumption of a freezer is used to make ice. The remainder is used to maintain the temperature of the rest of the freezer. Suppose, however, that 100% of a freezer's typical power consumption of 160 W is available to make ice. The freezer has the same coefficient of performance as given above. How many grams per minute of water at 16.0°C could this freezer convert to ice at -30.0°C? | g/min

A refrigerator is connected to a generator powered by a fuel with a calorific value of 35000 kJ/kg and a density of 0.85 g/cm3 . The inside temperature of the refrigerator is 0°C, and the outside temperature is 20°C. a. How much work is required to freeze 500 g of water? ΔfreezingH° = 6.02 kJ mol– 1 ) b. How much internal energy change occurs during the process? c. Since the generator consumes 5 L of fuel per hour, calculate the thermal efficiency of this engine.
Define the work (boundary) done on an adiabatic system is equal to the increase in the energy of the system.
An inventor proposes to make a heat engine using water/ice as the working substance, taking advantage of the fact that water expands as it freezes. A weight to be lifted is placed on top of a piston over a cylinder of water at 1°C. The system is then placed in thermal contact with a low-temperature reservoir at -1°C until the water freezes into ice, lifting the weight. The weight is then removed and the ice is melted by putting it in contact with a high-temperature reservoir at 1°C. The inventor is pleased with this device because it can seemingly perform an unlimited amount of work while absorbing only a finite amount of heat. Explain the flaw in the inventor's reasoning, and use the Clausius-Clapeyron relation to prove that the maximum efficiency of this engine is still given by the Carnot formula, 1 -Tc/Th.
It is common knowledge that the temperature rises as it is compressed. An inventor thought about using this high temperature air to heat buildings. He used a compressor driven by an electric motor. The inventor claims that the compressed hot air system is 25% more efficient than a resistance heating system that provides an equivalent amount of heating. Is this claim valid, or is this just another perpetual motion machine?
(i) A can of soft drink at room temperature is put into the refrigerator so that it will cool. Would you model the can of soft drink as a closed system or as an open system? (ii) A candle is burning in a well-insulated room. Taking the room (the air plus the candle) as the system, determine if there is any heat transfer during the burning process. Explain how?
ASAP PLEASE: A man makes a cup of tea using 354 g of water at 93 degrees C inside a 92 g ceramic mug with a specific heat of 1.09 J/gC. He cools off the tea by adding an ice cube at -6 C. The final temp of the tea and melted ice together is 72 C. Assume the mug and tea keep the same temp. Calculate the mass of the ice cube using only q=mc(tf-ti), q=mHf, and/or q=mHv

An electric windshield defroster is used to remove 0.25-in of ice from a windshield. The properties of the ice are Tsat = 328F, uif = hif = 144 Btu/lbm, and v = 0.01602 ft3/lbm. Determine the electrical energy required per square foot of windshield surface area to melt this ice and remove it as liquid water at 328F. What is the minimum temperature at which the defroster may be operated? Assume that no heat is transferred from the defroster or ice to the surroundings.
