A rectangular window in a home has a length of 1.5 m and a height of 0.80 m. If the window allows heat to escape from the home at a rate of 2,000 watts, how thick must the window be if the inside temperature of the home is 220 c and the outside temperature is 3.0°C? (Assume that the coefficient of thermal conduction of glass is 0.80 W/mK.)

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 .)
At a temperature of 21.4°C the hole in a steel plate has an area of 8.80 x 10- m2. You heat the plate until the area of the hole increases to 8.97 x 10- m2, which allows a steel rod to just slip through this hole. What is the final temperature of the plate? The coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 12 × 10-0/°C.

The temperature of a cylindrical tank containing liquid nitrogen is -10 ° C. Tank diameter is 16 cm. The amount of heat lost by convection and radiation from the tank to the environment is 65.5 W / m. Calculate the temperature of the environment where the tank is located: h = 4.35 W / m2K, ∈ = 1.
A wall receives sunlight from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm. The amount of energy it receives is 420 W/m2 and 15% is emitted as radiation into the surrounding air. The inside of the wall has a temperature of 48°C. If the wall is 7 m long and 6 m high and 30 cm thick, what is the temperature when x=20 cm?
A house has a three meter deep basement (foundation) wall that is in a 10 meter by eight meter rectangular shape based on interior dimensions. On average, 2.5 meters of the wall is below grade. Assume the outside air temperature is 38°C and the inside temperature is 20°C; there is an average ground temperature of 27°C. Determine the rate of heat loss through the wall if it is insulated with an R-value of about 30°C.m^2/W.
You are cooling the door to a large heat-treating oven, which is 3.50 m tall by 1.30 m wide, with a large fan blowing air at 25.0°C over the outside of the door. The convection coefficient associated with this cooling process is h = 57.0 W/(m2-K). The outside surface temperature of the door is 58.0°C. Find the heat transfer rate q, in units of Watts, associated with this cooling process.
