A house in Scotland has a back (kitchen) door that is 1 m wide and 2 m high. The lower half of the door (which is 1 m high) is made of uPVC of thickness 10 mm and thermal conductivity 0.2 W m¹ K-¹, and the upper half is made of a single pane of glass of thickness 5 mm and thermal conductivity 1.2 W m¹ K¹. In the middle of January, the air temperature outside is -10°C and is maintained on the inside of the kitchen at 20°C. The convection heat transfer coefficients on the inside and outside of the door are 25 W m2 K-¹ and 15 W m² K-¹, respectively. Assume that all heat loss will occur only through the door from the inside to the outside, and no heat transfer will take place between the two parts of the door. i) ii) Calculate the rate of heat loss through the door. What percentage of this rate is lost through the uPVC part and what is lost through the glass part?

Consider a double-paned window consisting of two panes of glass, each with a thickness of 0.500 cm and an area of 0.795 m2 , separated by a layer of air with a thickness of 1.50 cm. The temperature on one side of the window is 0.00 ∘C∘C; the temperature on the other side is 21.0 ∘C∘C. In addition, note that the thermal conductivity of glass is roughly 36 times greater than that of air. Approximate the heat transfer through this window by ignoring the glass. That is, calculate the heat flow per second through 1.50 cmcm of air with a temperature difference of 21.0 ∘C∘C. (The exact result for the complete window is 25.6 J/sJ/s .)

A solar collector and storage tank, shown in Figure (a) below, is to be optimized to achieve minimum first cost. During the day the temperature of water in the storage vessel is elevated from 25 °C (the minimum useful temperature) to tmax, as shown in Figure (b). The collector receives 260 W/m² of solar energy, but there is heat loss from the collector to ambient air by convection. The convection coefficient is 2 W/(m²*K), and the average temperature difference during the 10-hour day is (25 + tmax)/2 minus the ambient temperature of 10 °C. The energy above the minimum useful temperature of 25 °C that is to be stored in the vessel during the day is 200,000 kJ. The density of water is 1000 kg/m³, and its specific heat is 4.19 kJ/(kg*K).
