 Problem \#2: The cross section of a window is shown below.

Problem \#2: The cross section of a window is shown below. If the temperature of the air inside the house is 295K and the air outside the house is cold and at 280K and the window dimensions are 2m by 4m. a) Determine the amount of heat loss from the window. Assume that the convection coefficient of the air inside and outside the window are 30 and 20W/m2.K, respectively. Thermal conductivity of glass is 1W/m.K. Specify all of your assumptions. b) What temperature drop will exist across each of the glass panes? c) What will be the average temperature of the air between glass panes? d) Compare the heat loss of the multi-layer window to a window that is made of a single glass pan with 0.3cm thickness. Window glass 0.3cm thick
