The inner and outer surfaces of a 0.5-cm thick 2-m * 2-m window glass in winter are 10°C and 3°C, respectively. If the thermal conductivity of the glass is 0.78 W/m·K, determine the amount of heat loss through the glass over a period of 5 h. What would your answer be if the glass were 1 cm thick?
Consider a 3-m-high, 6-m-wide, and 0.3-m-thick brick wall whose thermal conductivity is k = 0.8 W/m K. On
a certain day, the temperatures of the inner and the outer surfaces of the wall are measured to be 14°C and
2°C, respectively. Determine the rate of heat loss through the wall on that day.
To help prevent frost damage, 4.00 kg of water at 0 °C is sprayed onto a fruit tree. (a) How much heat transfer occurs as the water freezes? (b) How much would the temperature of the 200-kg tree decrease if this amount of heat transferred from the tree? Take the specific heat to be 3.35 kJ/kg · °C , and assume that no phase change occurs in the tree.
