An air conditioner with COP~2.8 cools a well-sealed house from 35°C to 22°C in 10 min. Please determine the power consumption of the air conditioner. Assume the entire mass of air within the house is equivalent to 800 kg, and specific heats at 300K can be used. Also plot the schematic of the air conditioner with heat reservoirs, all heat transfers and work transfer.
