A student living in a 4-m x 6-m x 6-m dormitory room turns his 150-W fan on before she leaves her room on a summer day hoping that the room will be cooler when she comes back in the evening. Assuming all the doors and windows are tightly closed and disregarding any heat transfer through the walls and the windows, determine the temperature in the room when she comes back 10 hours later. Use specific heat values at room temperature and assume the room to be at 100 kPa and 15°C in the morning when she leaves.
