Consider a house with a floor space of 200 m 2 and an average height of 3

Question:

Consider a house with a floor space of 200 m2 and an average height of 3 m at sea level, where the standard atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa. Initially the house is at a uniform temperature of 10°C. Now the electric heater is turned on, and the heater runs until the air temperature in the house rises to an average value of 22°C. Determine how much heat is absorbed by the air assuming some air escapes through the cracks as the heated air in the house expands at constant pressure. Also, determine the cost of this heat if the unit cost of electricity in that area is $0.075/kWh.
