Question
A square window of side 1 m with a glass thickness of 1 cm looks out
onto a frosty scene at a temperature of 0 C. The other side of the glass
is at 20 C. Calculate the rate of heat transfer through the window by
a. Conduction
b. Radiation
c. Calculate the rate of heat transfer by conduction only through a
similarly sized portion of air i.e. 1 cm thick and with area 1 m2.
Compare your answer to that in part (a) above and hence
describe the advantage of double glazing.
Assume the coefficient of thermal conductivities for glass and air are
0.96 Wm/K and 0.03 Wm/K respectively, that the emissivity is 1.0 and
that the glass is perfectly transmitting at all wavelengths.
