The windows on the Apollo Command Module were double-paned tempered silica glass with an additional amorphous-fused...
3. (15 pts) A 0.5 m x 1 m double paned window is made of two silica glass panes 1 cm thick, with air in between. Under steady conditions, linear (constant gradient) temperature profiles are found in both silica panes, as well as the air. a) If the room (and the inner surface of the inner glass pane) is at a temperature of 25°C, while outdoors it is -25°C with a convection coefficient of 18 W m2 k-4, what is...
Consider the rate of heat conduction through a double-paned window that has a 1.45-m2 area and is made of two panes of 0.715-cm-thick glass separated by a 1.25-cm air gap. You can ignore the increased heat transfer in the air gap due to convection. Calculate the rate of heat conduction through this window, in watts, given that the inside surface temperature is 15.0°C, while the outside temperature is -10.0°C. Make the assumption that the temperature differences across the two glass...
Consider a house that has a 10-m x 20-m base and a 4-m-high wall. All four walls of the house have an R-value of 2.31m2°C/W. The two 10-m x 4-m walls have no windows. The third wall has five windows made of 0.5-cm-thick glass (k = 0.78 W/m-K), 1.2m x 1.8min size. The fourth wall has the same size and number of windows, but they are double paned with a 1.5-cm-thick stagnant air space (k = 0.026 W/m-K) enclosed between...
Consider a 1.2-m-high and 2-m-wide double-pane window consisting of two 3-mm-thick layers of glass (k = 0.78 W/m K) separated by a 12-mm-wide stagnant air space (k = 0.026 W/m K). Determine the steady rate of heat transfer through this double-pane window. R . and all the surface temperatures (inner and outer of each pane) within the circuit (which you will draw and correctly label) for a day during which the room is maintained at 24°C while the temperature of...
