Cooling systems, such as air conditioners and refrigerators, transfer thermal energy in order to keep homes and cars cool or to keep food cold. In a refrigerator, for example, thermal energy is transferred from the cool air inside the refrigerator to the warmer air in the kitchen. Thermal energy naturally moves from a warmer area to a cooler area, so how can it move from the cooler refrigerator to the warmer room?
