The front of a fireplace is covered by an air-tight glass door. The door has a height of 0.71 m (vertical direction) and a width of 1.02 m (horizontal direction). The fire heats the glass to a temperature of 232°C, while the ambient temperature in the room is 23°C. a. Determine the rate of heat loss from the glass surface due to natural convection. Assume the air is an ideal gas. Use a value of 2.64x105 m²/s for the kinematic viscosity of air and a value of 3.83x10-5 m²/s for the thermal diffusivity of air. Ignore radiative heat transfer. b. Now consider radiative heat loss from the glass. What is the total rate of heat loss from the glass surface? Assume an emissivity of 0.9 for the glass.
