Concept:

COP of VARS is given by relation;

\({\bf{COP}} = \frac{{{{\bf{T}}_{\bf{E}}}\;\left( {{{\bf{T}}_{\bf{G}}} - {{\bf{T}}_0}} \right)}}{{{{\bf{T}}_{\bf{G}}}\;\left( {{{\bf{T}}_0} - {{\bf{T}}_{\bf{E}}}} \right)}}\)

Where, TE = Evaporator temperature, T= Generator temperature, T= Condenser and absorber temperature.

and the pump work is neglected.

Calculation:

Given:

TE = 268 K, TG = 373 K, T0 = 293 K.

\({\bf{COP}} = \frac{{{{\bf{T}}_{\bf{E}}}\;\left( {{{\bf{T}}_{\bf{G}}} - {{\bf{T}}_0}} \right)}}{{{{\bf{T}}_{\bf{G}}}\;\left( {{{\bf{T}}_0} - {{\bf{T}}_{\bf{E}}}} \right)}}\)

\({\rm{COP}} = \frac{{268\;\left( {373 - 293} \right)}}{{373\;\left( {293 - 268} \right)}}\)

∴ COP = 2.3
