The cost of energy “vented out” by the fans in 1 h.

Answer to Problem 147RP
The cost of energy “vented out” by the fans in 1 h is
Explanation of Solution
Determine the density of air at the indoor conditions.
Here, the house maintain a pressure is
Determine interior volume of the house per hour
Here, the width of the house is
Determine the mass flow rate of air vented out.
Determine the rate of energy loss by the ventilating fans.
Here, the specific heat of air at room temperature is
