Question
Q1. Double glazed window is made of 2 glass panes of 6 mm thick each with an air gap of 6 mm between
them. Assuming that the air layer is stagnant and only conduction is involved, determine the thermal
resistance and overall heat transfer coefficient. The inside is exposed to convection with h - 15 W/m?. K
and the outside to 9 W/m'. K. Compare the values with that of a single glass of 12 mm thickness. The
conductivity of the glass - 1.4 W/m. K and that for air is 0.025 W/m. K.
h, = 15 Wim'k

Q2. A 2m long, 0.3cm diameter electrical wire extends across a room at 15°C. Heat is generated in the
wire as a result of resistance heating, and the surface temperature of the wire is measured to be 152°C in
steady operation. Also, the voltage drop and electric current through the wire are measured to be 60 V
and 1.5 A, respectively. Disregarding any heat transfer by radiation, determine the convection heat
transfer coefficient for heat transfer between the outer surface of the wire and the air in the room.
