Question: Problem 3 ( 3 0 Points ) A window in a tall building experiences a horizontal wind flow parallel to the surface at a velocity

Problem 3(30 Points)
A window in a tall building experiences a horizontal wind flow parallel to the surface at a velocity of 8ms. The window measures 2 m high, 1.5 m wide and 6.5 mm thick. The transition from the building wall to the window glass surface is not smooth. The window casement that surrounds the edge of glass pane is raised 10 mm above the surface of the glass and adjacent wall structure. Inside the building, the air temperature and heat transfer coefficient for the interior surface are 21C and 9Wm2K respectively. The window has a uniform thermal conductivity of 1.4WmK. If the outdoor air temperature is 5C, determine the rate of convective heat loss from the window. Develop a thermal resistance network for the window system. Please state and justify all assumptions. Neglect any conduction through the casement.
Assume the following air properties: kair=0.0248WmK,v=14.2010-6m2s,Pr=0.712.
Outside Air
u=8ms
T=5C
