If a heat transfer coefficient of 2.84 W l(m2 • K) exists on each of the two inside faces of two sheets of 6.35-mm-thick glass separated by an air gap, calculate the gap that can be used such that the rate of heat transfer by conduction through the air gap equals the rate of heat transfer by convection. What is the rate of heat transfer if this gap is exceeded. The thermal conductivity of air of 0.0242 WI (m . K). Solve for temperature of 20°C and 12°C on the outside surfaces of the glass. Would the calculated gap change in value for different values of the surface temperatures? Would there be any advantage to increasing the gap beyond this calculated value?

  1. If a heat transfer coefficient of 2.84 W l(m2 • K) exists on each of the two inside faces of two sheets of 6.35-mm-thick glass separated by an air gap, calculate the gap that can be used such that the rate of heat transfer by conduction through the air gap equals the rate of heat transfer by convection. What is the rate of heat transfer if this gap is exceeded. The thermal conductivity of air of 0.0242 WI (m . K). Solve for temperature of 20°C and 12°C on the outside surfaces of the glass. Would the calculated gap change in value for different values of the surface temperatures? Would there be any advantage to increasing the gap beyond this calculated value?
