Question: A window pane that measures 2 0 cm x 2 5 cm is set into the front of a house. The glass is 0 .

A window pane that measures 20 cm x 25 cm is set into the front
of a house. The glass is 0.32 cm thick. The temperature outside is
-15 degree C and inside is 22 degree C. At what rate does heat
leave the house through that one small window.
(thermal conductivity of glass K =0.63 W/mK)
2. If single pane window is replaced by a double pane window with
air gap of 0.5 cm between the panes. The inner surface of inner
pane is 22 degree C and outer surface of outer pane is -15 degree
C. What is new heat loss through double pane window.
(thermal conductivity of air is K =0.023 W/mK, for glass K=0.63 W/mK)
