A cold storage takes 5 hours to bring down the temperature of 100 metric tons of potato from 35 °C to 8 °C. The specific heat capacity of potato is 3.1 kJ kg-1 °C-1. The coefficient of performance (COP) and the latent heat of vapourisation of the refrigerant (R-22) at an evaporation temperature of -10 °C are 3.66 and 230 kJ kg-1, respectively. Neglecting respiration heat load of potato, and assuming no power loss, the values of refrigerant flow rate and the power input to the compressor are
