Solution

The Coefficient of Performance (COP) for a refrigerator is calculated using the formula:

COP = Heat Removal Rate / Power Input to the Compressor

Given in the problem, the heat removal rate is 7.2 kW and the power input to the compressor is 1.8 kW.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

COP = 7.2 kW / 1.8 kW = 4

So, the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the refrigerator is 4.
