You happen to leave the door to your 26.3 ft3 refrigerator (rated at 304 W) open long enough that the air inside has been completely replaced by room-temperature (67.8°F) air, but no significant temperature change occurred in the food. How long would it take for the refrigerator to cool down the air to the original temperature 38.5°F? The coefficient of performance for this refrigerator is 4.01. Neglect the volume occupied by the food. Assume that the room is at 1 atm and that air is an ideal diatomic gas.
