Question-3 As seen in the figure, the stable air conditioner keeps the indoor environment at 21oC while the outdoor environment is 32oC. Since the heat transfer rate from the roof and walls to the house is 31,650 kJ/h, is the 2.2 kW power input to the compressor of the air conditioner sufficient? If sufficient, calculate COP, if not, find the theoretical minimum power in kW
