An air-conditioning system operating on the reversed Carnot cycle is required to transfer heat from a house at a rate of 727 kJ/min to maintain its temperature at 21°C. If the outdoor air temperature is 39°C, determine the power required to operate this air-conditioning system. Report your answer in [kW] and round your answer to the second decimal places.
