Step 1
The air conditioner consumes 1 kW of power, which means it uses 1 kW of energy to operate. However, it also discharges 4 kW of heat to the air outside the house. This means that 4 kW of heat is being removed from the house. Show more…

An air conditioner is used to keep the interior of a house at a temperature of $21^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ while the outside temperature is $32^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ If heat leaks into the house at the rate of $11 \mathrm{kW},$ and the air conditioner has the efficiency of a Carnot engine, what is the mechanical power required to keep the house cool?
A window air conditioner that consumes 2 kW of electricity when running and has a coefficient of performance of 3 is placed in the middle of a room, and is plugged in. The rate of cooling or heating this air conditioner will provide to the air in the room when running is:

A window air conditioner that consumes $1 \mathrm{kW}$ of electricity when running and has a coefficient of performance of 3 is placed in the middle of a room, and is plugged in. The rate of cooling or heating this air conditioner will provide to the air in the room when running is $(a) 3 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{s},$ cooling $(b) 1 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{s},$ cooling $(c) 0.33 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{s},$ heating $(d) 1 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{s},$ heating $(e) 3 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{s},$ heating
