During a winter day, the window of a patio door with a height of 1.8 m and width of 1.0 m shows a frostline near its base. The room wall and air temperatures are 15°C.
(a) Explain why the window would show a frost layer at the base rather than at the top.
(b) Estimate the heat loss through the window due to free convection and radiation. Assume the window has a uniform temperature of 0°C and the emissivity of the glass surface is 0.94. If the room has electric baseboard heating, estimate the corresponding daily cost of the window heat loss for a Utility rate of
