P5.33) An electrical motor is used to operate a Carnot refrigerator with an interior
temperature of 0.00°C. Liquid water at 0.00°C is placed into the refrigerator and
transformed to ice at 0.00°C. If the room temperature is 20°C, what mass of ice can be
produced in 1 min by a 0.25-hp motor that is running continuously? Assume that the
refrigerator is perfectly insulated and operates at the maximum theoretical efficiency.
We need to find the amount of heat per unit time that can be removed from the
interior of the refrigerator.
