Problem : Heat loss through thermopane double window. A double window called thermopane is one in which two layers of glass are separated by a layer of dry, stagnant air. In a given window, each glass layer is mm thick and separated by mm K for glass and air respectively and independent of temperature are and respectively.
A Ignore convection between windows and between outside and windows and for a total temperature drop across the window of K calculate the heat loss for a window that is
B Now, we will not ignore the convection in the air layer between windows. If the outside temperatures of the glass windows facing the atmosphere are K and K and using a heat of W calculate the side temperatures of the windows facing the air layer.
C In B if the heat transfer coefficient of air was given as compare the magnitudes of convection and conduction in the air layer? Which mechanism dominate?
D how does the total heat calculated for air compares for the W given to you? Why are they different?
E Represent the systems in and using resistances. Calculate an equivalent overall resistance for each system
F Modify your resistance plot to account for convection to atmospheric air from both windows? Calculate an equivalent overall resistance for the new system.
