ok- got the answer... the fridge would only have to run to maintain temp, kinda like when you hear them cycle on. I can't believe such a simple answer was so elusive.
Thanks, now I can get some sleep.
They would be set in the real world.
One would be full (fluids and solids can be assumed), and the other just plain air.
I assume they would still have to cool to remain at an arbitrarily set temperature. Which would have to cool more (use more energy) to keep the temperature inside at...
I can't go to sleep until I find an answer and I'm no student of physics so I was hoping for a little help.
If two refrigerators are at the same thermostat setting. One empty (assumed regular Earth air inside) and one full of food.
Both have already reached the temperature on the thermostat...
