Problem 106
Suppose you are attending summer school and are living in a very old dormitory. The day is oppressively hot. There is no air-conditioner, and you can't open the windows of your room because they are stuck shut from layers of paint. There is a refrigerator in the room, however. In a stroke of genius you open the door of the refrigerator, and cool air cascades out. The relief does not last long, though. Soon the refrigerator motor and condenser begin to run, and not long thereafter the room is hotter than it was before. Why did the room warm up?
