A 0.5m1m double paned window is made of two
silica glass panes 1 cm thick, with air in between.
Under steady conditions, linear (constant gradient)
temperature profiles are found in both silica panes, as
well as the air. If the room (and the inner surface of
the inner glass pane) is at a temperature of 25C, while
outdoors it is -25C with a convection coefficient of
18Wm-2K-1, what is the rate of heat loss through the
window? What is the rate of heat loss if the room
temperature is decreased to 20C? Finally, what is the
rate of heat loss for a room temperature of 25C, but
with one of the panes (and the air) removed?
