Problem 6: Consider a house that has a floor space of 2000 ft² and an average height of 9 ft at 5000 ft elevation where the standard atmospheric pressure is 12.2 psia. Initially the house is at a uniform temperature of 50°F. Now the electric heater is turned on, and the heater runs until the air temperature in the house rises to an average value of 70°F. Determine the amount of energy transferred to the air assuming (a) the house is air-tight and thus no air escapes during the heating process and (b) some air escapes through the cracks as the heated air in the house expands at constant pressure.
