Question: a 1 . 0 mx 1 . 5 m double pane window consists of two 4 mm thick layers of glass ( k = .

a 1.0mx1.5 m double pane window consists of two 4mm thick layers of glass (k=.78 W/m*K)That are seperated by a 5mm air gap (Kair =0.025W/m*K). The heat flow through the air gap is assumed to be by conduction. The inside and outside air temperatures are 20C and -20C, respectively, and the inside and outside heat transfer coefficients are 40 and 20 W/m^2*K. Determine
a.) The daily rate of heat loss through the window in steady operation
b.) The temperature difference across the largest thermal resistance
