Air conditioners are rated by their coefficient of performance at 63 ∘F inside temperature and 90 ∘F outside temperature. An efficient but realistic air conditioner has a coefficient of performance of 3.2.

What is the maximum possible coefficient of performance?

Respuesta :

Answer:

COP = 19.35

Explanation:

given,

realistic air conditioner coefficient  =  3.2

to calculate maximum possible coefficient of performance at  63 ∘F inside temperature and 90 ∘F outside temperature.

for

[tex]90^0F = (90 - 32) \times \dfrac{5}{9} + 273  = 305.22 K[/tex]

[tex]63^0F = (63 - 32) \times \dfrac{5}{9} + 273  = 290.22 K[/tex]

[tex]COP = \dfrac{T_{lower}}{T_{higher}-T_{lower}}[/tex]

[tex]COP = \dfrac{290.22}{305.22-290.22}[/tex]

COP = 19.35
