Solar energy is used for air conditioning a house. To maintain a pressurized water tank at 443 K solar radiation is allowed. At a particular time interval, 301kJ of heat is extracted from the house to maintain its temperature at 301K when the surroundings temperature is 310K. Consider the tank of water, the house and the surroundings as heat reservoirs, what is the minimum heat (in kJ ,2 decimal places) that must be extracted from the tank of water by any device built to accomplish the required cooling of the house. No other sources of energy are available.
