Refrigerator Work Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Refrigerator Work = Heat from High Temperature Reservoir-Heat from Low Temperature Reservoir
R_w = Q_high-Q_low
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Refrigerator Work - (Measured in Joule) - Refrigerator work is the work done by the refrigerator in an interval of temperature change.
Heat from High Temperature Reservoir - (Measured in Joule) - Heat from high temperature reservoir is a source that provides thermal energy to a heat engine, allowing the engine to operate by transferring heat.
Heat from Low Temperature Reservoir - (Measured in Joule) - Heat from low temperature reservoir is a thermal energy sink that absorbs heat from a heat engine during its operation is typically at a lower temperature than the engine’s working fluid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Heat from High Temperature Reservoir: 800 Joule --> 800 Joule No Conversion Required
Heat from Low Temperature Reservoir: 200 Joule --> 200 Joule No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_w = Q_high-Q_low --> 800-200

Evaluating ... ...

R_w = 600

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

600 Joule --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

600 Joule <-- Refrigerator Work

how does the refrigerator work?

In order to keep food fresh, a low temperature must be maintained in the immediate environment to reduce the reproduction rate of harmful bacteria. A refrigerator works to transfer heat from inside to outside, which is why it feels warm if you put your hand on the back side of fridge near the metal pipes - you'll find out how that works in a bit.

How to Calculate Refrigerator Work?

Refrigerator Work calculator uses Refrigerator Work = Heat from High Temperature Reservoir-Heat from Low Temperature Reservoir to calculate the Refrigerator Work, Refrigerator Work formula is defined as the difference between the heat absorbed from the high-temperature reservoir and the heat rejected to the low-temperature reservoir, representing the energy required for the refrigeration cycle to operate effectively. Refrigerator Work is denoted by R_w symbol.

How to calculate Refrigerator Work using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Refrigerator Work, enter Heat from High Temperature Reservoir (Q_high) & Heat from Low Temperature Reservoir (Q_low) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Refrigerator Work calculation can be explained with given input values -> 600 = 800-200.
