Answer

a) $28390$ $kJ$ b) $1936.9$ $kJ$

Work Step by Step

All the symbols have the usual meaning. $T_C=0 \hspace{1mm}{}^oC=273.15K$ $T_H=24 \hspace{1mm}{}^oC=293.15K$ $K_{carnot}=\dfrac{T_H}{T_H-T_C}= 14.6575$ Latent heat of fusion for ice $=334$ $kJ/kg$ Let $W$ be the energy supplied to the device. a) Mass of water $=85$ $kg$ Heat discharged to the room $Q=(85\times 334)$ $kJ=28390$ $kJ$ b) $K_{carnot}=\dfrac{Q}{W}=14.6575$ $\Longrightarrow W=\dfrac{28390}{14.6575}\hspace{1mm}kJ\simeq 1936.9$ $kJ$
