C.O.P = favourable effect/work input = 120/30 = 4.

Here favourable effect is rejection of heat.

Refrigeration effect = 120-30 = 90.

cop = 90/30 = 3.

I agree with you @Indra 3 is the correct answer.

Jignesh said:   9 years ago
cop = R.E/WORK = 90/30 = 3.

Jnk said:   9 years ago
cop = ref effect / work done.
= 120 - 30 / 30.
= 3.

Ajith said:   9 years ago
C.O.P = heat/workdone,

=> 120/30,

=> 4.

Heat rejected = Heat taken from Evaporator + heat rejected from compressor.

Here heat Rejected is given as summation of RE+ W ( Compressor).
Now COP = RE/Work.
= 120 - 30/30 = 3.

Answer should be 3.

Because the ratio of condenser heat rejection to power consumption is called co efficient of performance for the heat pump. And we have to find cop of refrigerator thus from equation
COP hp =COPr + 1.
Cop for refrigerator 3.

cop = out put /input.
energy out /input.
120/30.

Yatendra said:   8 years ago
Yes, I agree cop = 3.
