A refrigerator has a coefficient of performance of 2. The ice (cice = 2090 J/kg.oC) tray compartment is at –19°C, and the room temperature is 45°C. The refrigerator can convert 5.47 g of water (cwater = 4186 J/kg.oC) at 45°C to 5.47 g of ice at –19°C each minute. What input power (in W) is required? (Answer in 2 decimal places)
