Solved: Refrigeration units can be rated in tons. A 1-ton

Chapter 15, Problem 15.63

(choose chapter or problem)

Refrigeration units can be rated in tons. A 1-ton air conditioning system can remove sufficient energy to freeze 1 ton of 0C water into 0C ice in one 24-h day. If, on a 35C day, the interior of a house is maintained at 22C by the continuous operation of a 5-ton air conditioning system, how much does this cooling cost the homeowner per hour? Assume the work done by the refrigeration unit is powered by electricity that costs $0.10 per kWh and that the units coefficient of performance is 18% that of an ideal refrigerator.
