Question

Problem 42PE

(a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a double-paned window that has a 1.50-m2 area and is made of two panes of 0.800-cm-thick glass separated by a 1.00-cm air gap. The inside surface temperature is 15.0ºC , while that on the outside is −10.0ºC . (Hint: There are identical temperature drops across the two glass panes. First find these and then the temperature drop across the air gap. This problem ignores the increased heat transfer in the air gap due to convection.)

(b) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a 1.60-cmthick window of the same area and with the same temperatures. Compare your answer with that for part (a).
