It is, in essence, a refrigerator in which mechanical work is done and heat removed from the (cooler) inside and rejected to the (warmer) outside. A home air conditioner operating on a reversible Carnot cycle between the inside, absolute temperature T2, and the outside, absolute tempera- ture T1 > T2, consumes P joules/sec from the power lines when operating continuously. (a) In one second, the air conditioner absorbs Q2 joules from the house and rejects Q1 joules outdoors. Develop a formula for the efficiency ratio Q2/P in terms of T1 and T2. (b) Heat leakage into the house follows Newton's law Q = A(T, – T2). Develop a formula for T, in terms of T1, P, and A for continuous operation of the air conditioner under constant outside temperature T and uniform (in space) inside temperature T2.
