Question:

A refrigerator door is opened and room-temperature air (20.0°C) fills the 1.50-m3 compartment. A 10.0-kg turkey, also at room temperature, is placed in the refrigerator and the door is closed. The density of air is 1.20 kg/m3 and its specific heat is 1020 J/kg K. Assume the specific beat of a turkey, like that of a human, is 34W J/kg. K. How much heat must the refrigerator remove from its compartment to bring the air and the turkey to thermal equilibrium at a temperature of 5.00°C? Assume no heal exchange with the surrounding environment.
