Question:

Consider a vertical, single-pane window of equivalent width and height (W = L = 1m). The interior surface is exposed to the air and walls of a room, which are each at 18°C. Under cold ambient conditions for which a thin layer of frost has formed on the inner surface, what is the heat loss through the window? How would your analysis be affected by a frost layer whose thickness is not negligible? During incipience of frost formation, where would you expect the frost to begin to develop on the window? The frost may be assumed to have an emissivity of ε = 0.90.
