A Carnot freezer takes heat from water at $0\,^oC$ inside it and rejects it to the room at a temperature of $27\,^oC$. The latent heat of ice is $336 \times 10^3\, J\,kg^{-1}$.  lf $5\, kg$ of water at $0\,^oC$ is converted into ice at  $0\,^oC$ by the freezer, then the energy consumed by the freezer is close to

$\Delta H = mL = 5 \times 336 \times {10^3} = {Q_{sink}}$

$\frac{{{Q_{sink}}}}{{{Q_{source}}}} - \frac{{{T_{sink}}}}{{{T_{source}}}}$

$\therefore {Q_{source}} = \frac{{{T_{source}}}}{{{T_{sink}}}} \times {Q_{sink}}$

Energy consumed by freezer

$\therefore {W_{output}} = {Q_{source}} - {Q_{sink}}$

$ = {Q_{sink}}\left( {\frac{{{T_{source}}}}{{{T_{sink}}}} - 1} \right)$

$Given:\,{T_{source}} = {27^ \circ }C + 273 = 300K,$

${T_{sink}} = {0^ \circ }C + 273 = 273\,K$

${W_{output}} = 5 \times 336 \times {10^3}\left( {\frac{{300}}{{273}} - 1} \right) = 1.67 \times {10^5}J$
