The window in my office is 2 metres by 3 metres. Assuming all other walls are well insulated
and that heat loss only occurs through the window, calculate what size of heater I need in my
office to maintain the temperature, if the inside surface of the glass is at 11 °C and the outside
surface at 6 °C. Sketch the temperature profile through the glass.
Data: Thickness of glass = 4 mm
Thermal conductivity of glass 0.78 W/m K.
Question 1: A glass window of width W = 1 m and height H = 2m is 5 mm thick and has a thermal conductivity of kg =1.4 W/m.K. If the inner and outer surface temperatures of the glass are 15 °C and -20 C, respectively, on a cold winter day, what is the rate of heat loss through the glass? To reduce heat loss through windows, it is customary to use a double pane construction in which adjoining panes are separated by an air space. If the spacing is 10 mm and the glass surfaces in contact with the air have temperatures of (last two digit of your Registration number) °C and -15 °C, what is the rate of heat loss from a 1 mx2mwindow? The thermal conductivity of air is ka = 0.024 W/m.K.
