A dual-pane window in a house is composed of two parallel panes of glass, each with an area of 2.23 m². Each pane of glass is 3.10 mm thick and the space between the panes is 12.5 mm thick and is filled with argon. (a) Calculate the heat flow through the window if the indoor temperature is 18.3°C and the outdoor temperature is -20.6°C (this is about -5°F). (b) Determine the temperature on the inside of the pane (this is in the argon-dilled region) closest to the outside of the house.

A double-pane glass window consists of two pieces of glass, each having athickness of 8 mm, with a thermal conductivity of k = 1.4 W⁄m ⋅ K . The twoglass panes are separated by an air gap of 10 mm, as shown in Figure 11.10 .Assuming the thermal conductivity of air to be k = 0.025 W⁄m ⋅ K , determinethe total R-value for this window. The total thermal resistance of the window is obtained by adding the resistance offered by each pane of glass and the air gap in the following manner:
