Refrigerators currently being manufactured in the United States are using______as their refrigerant.
The function of the pressure tank in an open-loop, geo-thermal heat pump well system is to prevent the well pump from _____.
An air conditioning unit works by taking heat out of a room. As the refrigerant gas expands in the cooling coils, it absorbs heat from the circulating air in the room. This heat is then released as the refrigerant is compressed by the part of the unit that is directed out of the room. The unit serves like a heat pump for the room. Since a refrigerator works in a similar manner, can t also be used to maintain a cool temperature inside a room? Justify your answer.

Q3/ A refrigeration unit is cooling a space to −5°C by rejecting energy to the atmosphere at 20°C. It is desired to reduce the temperature in the refrigerated space to −25°C. Calculate the minimum percentage increase in work required, by assuming a Carnot refrigerator, for the same amount of energy removed.
A certain refrigerator has a COP of 5.00. When the refrigerator is running, its power input is 500 W. A sample of water of mass 500 g and temperature 20.0°C is placed in the freezer compartment.
