The ice maker inside a refrigerator makes ice cubes at 0.0°C from water that is at 13.7°C when it first enters the ice maker. If this machine is rated at 244 W and has a 3.86 coefficient of performance, what is the maximum amount of ice it can produce in a 24 hour period without any interruption or stoppage? Assume that the ice maker works just like a refrigerator. The specific heat of water is 4184 J/(kg °C), and the latent heat of fusion of ice is 33.4 x 104 J/kg.
