QUESTION 9 During the video on heat conduction, H through a single pane window was calculated. Now, consider a window that has wo panes with a 6 mm air gap between them. Each pane has an area of 1.9 m. The window separates the inside of a house at 22 °C from the outside at 0°C. Let Kair = 0.03 W/(m-K). Hint: This problem can be simplified by noting that the thermal conductivity of glass is much greater than air, so the effect of the glass on the total conductivity can be ignored. Therefore, the purpose of the two glass panes is to support the layer of air between them. Calculate the heat current H through the double glass pane window in watts. Do not include units in your answer and state your numerical answer in normal form.

2. Compare the heat loss from an insulated and an uninsulated copper pipe (k-400 W/m K) under the following conditions. The pipe has an internal diameter of 10 cm and an external diameter of 12 cm.

The insulation available to reduce heat losses is 5 cm thick and its conductivity is 0.20 W/m K. If the furnace for heating the fluid in the pipe operating at an efficiency of 85% using natural gas priced at Cg = Php 1.00/MJ, what is the daily cost of heat loss per meter of pipe?
