  • A
    $Q_1 / W$
  • B
    $W / Q_1$
  • C
    $Q_2 / W$
  • D

In a refrigerator,heat is removed from a low-temperature reservoir and deposited at a high-temperature reservoir. This requires mechanical work,which is provided by an electric motor. If the motor power is $1 \ kW$ and heat is transferred from $-3^{\circ} C$ to $27^{\circ} C$,calculate the heat removed from the refrigerator per second,assuming the efficiency is $50\%$ of the ideal Carnot refrigerator. (in $kJ/s$)
