In a thermally insulated kitchen, a refrigerator with 2 kW motor for running the compressor provides 6000 kJ of cooling to the refrigerated space during 30 min operation. If the condenser coil placed behind the refrigerator rejects 8000 kJ of heat to the kitchen during the same period, calculate the change in internal energy of the kitchen.
