A 1.0 mx 1.5 m double-pane window consists of two mm-thick layers of glass (k = 0.78 W/m-K) that are theseparated by a 5-mm air gap (kair= 0.025 W/m K). The heat flow through the air gap is assumed to be byconduction. The inside and outside air temperatures are 20°C and -20°C, respectively, and the inside and outsideheat transfer coefficients are 40 and 20 W/m² oC determine the daily rate of heat loss through the window insteady operation.

The thermal resistance of a material is the ability of the material to resist heat flow through…

In this problem you will estimate the heat lost by a typical house, assuming that the temperature inside is Tin = 20°C and the temperature outside is Tout = 0°C. The walls and uppermost ceiling of a typical house are supported by 2 x 6-inch wooden beams (kwood = 0.12 W/(mK)) with fiberglass insulation (kins = 0.04 W/(mK)) in between. The true depth of the beams is actually 5.625 %3D %3D %3D inches, but we will take the thickness of the walls and ceiling to be Lwall = 18 cm to allow for the interior and exterior covering. Assume that the house is a cube of length L = 9.0 m on a side. Assume that the roof has very high conductivity, so that the air in the attic is at the same temperature as the outside air. Ignore heat loss through the ground. The effective thermal conductivity of the wall (or ceiling) keff , is the area-weighted average of the thermal conductivities of the wooden beams and the fiberglass insulation that make up each of them. Allowing for the fact that the 2 x 6 beams…
A pair of eyeglass frames are made of an epoxy plastic (coefficient of linear expansion = 1.30 10-4°C-1). At room temperature (20.0°C), the frames have circular lens holes 2.40 cm in radius. To what temperature must the frames be heated if lenses 2.41 cm in radius are to be inserted into them?
A homeowner is unhappy with her heating costs. One wall of her house is 4 meters tall and 8 meters wide and has no windows, and it is made of brick and mortar with a thermal conductivity of 1.0 W m K . It is 40 cm thick. The house is heated to a temperature of 20 ◦C inside. (a) What is the rate of heat loss through the wall on a day when it is 0◦C outside? (b) A layer of rock mineral wool, which has a thermal conductivity of 0.032 W m K is to be installed on the interior surface of the brick wall. How thick should the layer be to lower the rate of heat transfer through this wall to half its original value? (c) If the rock mineral wool is instead installed on the outer surface, is the thickness required the same?
