The air-conditioning system in a Chevrolet van for use in desert climates is to be sized. The system is to maintain an interior temperature of 20C when the van travels at 100 km/h through dry air at 30C at night. If the top of the van is idealized as a flat plate 6 m long and 2 m wide and the sides as flat plates 3 m tall and 6 m long, estimate the rate at which heat must be removed from the interior to maintain the specified

In a new residential project, you strongly believethat double-paned windows are ‘better’ than singlepaned windows. Compare the rate of heat loss betweensingle and double-paned windows (1.5 m x 1 m) if thethickness of each pane is (th = 0.4 cm) and (k = 0.9W/m.K). The indoor and outdoor temperatures are 18°C and 2 °C, respectively. Thickness of the air gapbetween the double-paned windows is (th = 1 cm), and(k = 0.022 W/m.K). Image credit: Windowwhirl
