Problem 28P

Bananas are to be cooled from 28°C to 12°C at a rate of 1140 kg/h by a refrigerator that operates on a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle. The power input to the refrigerator is 8.6 kW. Determine (a) the rate of heat absorbed from the bananas, in kJ/h, and the COP, (b) the minimum power input to the refrigerator, and (c) the second-law efficiency and the energy destruction for the cycle. The specific heat of bananas above freezing is 3.35 kJ/kg•°C.
