sci.carnot-cop Calculator
Calculates the Carnot coefficient of performance (COP) for ideal heat pumps and refrigerators: COP_cooling = T_cold/(T_hot − T_cold). A refrigerator operating between 5 °C and 25 °C has Carnot COP = 278/20 = 13.9 — real units achieve 3–6 due to irreversibilities.
Inputs
T Hot K
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
T Cold K
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Input Power Kw
Rate of energy transfer (W). P = V×I (electrical). P = F×v (mechanical). 1 horsepower ≈ 746 W.
Results
COP (heating)
The value at the specified point or condition.
COP (cooling / refrigeration)
The proportional relationship between two quantities.
heat delivered (kW)
The value at the specified point or condition.
cooling delivered (kW)
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
COP_heat = Th/(Th-Tc)
The value at the specified point or condition.
COP_cool = Tc/(Th-Tc)
