Jet aircrafts fly at altitudes above $30000 \,ft$, where the air is very cold at $-40^{\circ} C$ and the pressure is $0.28 \,atm$. The cabin is maintained at $1 \,atm$ pressure by means of a compressor which exchanges air from outside adiabatically. In order to have a comfortable cabin temperature of $25^{\circ} C$, we will require in addition

  • A
    a heater to warm the air injected into the cabin
  • B
    an air-conditioner to cool the air injected into the cabin
  • C
    neither a heater nor an air-conditioner, the compressor is sufficient
  • D
    alternatively heating and cooling in the two halves of the compressor cycle
