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.

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