Question
A homeowner wants to reduce their monthly heating bill and carbon footprint and is considering replacing a 20cm x 40cm x .50cm single pane window with a double pane to help in this endeavor. The double pane glass window is advertised to reduce thermal energy loss by 67%. The thermal conductivity of glass is .84 W/(m*K).
Find the heat lost every minute by the single paned window if the temperature difference between inside and outside of the house is 14C.

- An industrial wall is constructed of 20 cm thick fireclay of thermal conductivity 1W/m 0C. This is covered on the outer surface with a 3 cm layer of insulating material of thermal conductivity 0.075 W/m0C. The innermost surface is at 940 0C and the outermost surface is at 40 0C . The steady state of heat transfer is occurring through the wall. So what is the rate of heat transfer rate that is occurring through the wall? What is the temp of the interface of these walls?arrow_forwardA solar collector and storage tank, shown in Figure (a) below, is to be optimized to achieve minimum first cost. During the day the temperature of water in the storage vessel is elevated from 25 °C (the minimum useful temperature) to tmax, as shown in Figure (b). The collector receives 260 W/m² of solar energy, but there is heat loss from the collector to ambient air by convection. The convection coefficient is 2 W/(m²*K), and the average temperature difference during the 10-hour day is (25 + tmax)/2 minus the ambient temperature of 10 °C. The energy above the minimum useful temperature of 25 °C that is to be stored in the vessel during the day is 200,000 kJ. The density of water is 1000 kg/m³, and its specific heat is 4.19 kJ/(kg*K).
