The residential energy audit is the step which is taken to conserve the energy as well as to save the homeowner's money without affecting comfort and safety.

Explanation of Solution

A residential energy audit is related to the steps taken to conserve the energy without affecting the comfort and safety of homeowner. Energy audits are important for everyone. This can help the homeowner to cut some expenses on electricity as well as can save up to 15% of money.

The residential energy unit is also important from the government point of view. It can provide the data which shows the dependency of a resident's electricity produced on foreign oils.

Energy audits give detail about the heating load and cooling load of a resident. In the United States, it is important to have these details as most of the energy is consumed by these applications.

Conclusion:

Thus, the residential energy audit is the steps which are taken to conserve the energy as well as save homeowners money without affecting comfort and safety.

An ideal gas with MW of 29 g/mol, cp = 1.044 kJ/kgK and c₁ = 0.745 kJ/kgK contained in a cylinder-piston assembly initially has a pressure of 175 kPa, a temperature of 22°C, and a volume of 0.30 m³. It is heated slowly at constant volume (process 1-2) until the pressure is doubled. It is then expanded slowly at constant pressure (process 2-3) until the volume is doubled. Draw a figure of the system and the PV diagram showing each state and the path each process takes. Determine the total work done by the system and total heat added (J) in the combined process.
