A milk storage tank on a dairy farm is equipped with a refrigeration compressor which removes Q (Btu/min) of heat from warm milk. The insulated and perfectly mixed tank is initially filled with V. (ft) of warm milk at a temperature of T. (F). The compressor is then turned on and begins to chill down the milk at the same time that fresh warm milk at T, ("F) is added at a volumetric flow rate of q (ft/min) through a pipeline from the milking parlor. The total volume of milk in the tank increases to Vị after all of the cows have been milked.

Pls. Answer thank you! An air-conditioning system is used to maintain a house at 75°F when the temperature outside is 95°F. The house is gaining the heat through the walls and windows at a rate of 1250 Btu/min, and the heat generation rate within the house from people, lights, and appliances amounts to 350 Btu/min. Determine the minimum power input required for this air-conditioning system.
