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:

Fluid Mechanics Last Fall, researchers using an unmanned submarine discovered a coral reef at the unprecenented depth of 1/2 mile. The density of seawater at the surface of the ocean is 1025kg/m3 and the bulk modulus of elasticty of seawater is 2.34*109 Pa. A volume of air is taken downward to the coral reef. Assuming an absolute air pressure at the ocean surface of 1 atm, and that the air taken to the reef behaves as an isothermal gas. Find the pressure of the air at that depth. Find the fractional change in denisity and volume of the air at that depth.
Calculate the heat loss from a double-pane glass window consisting of two pieces of glass, each having a thickness of 10 mm with a thermal conductivity of k = 1.3 W/m.K . The two glass panes are separated by an air gap of 7 mm. Assume thermal conductivity of air to be k = 0.022 W/m.K .
A heat pump supplies heat energy to a house at the rate of 140,000 kJ/h when the house is maintained at 25°C. Over a period of one month, the heat pump operates for 100 hours to transfer energy from a heat source outside the house to inside the house. Consider a heat pump receiving heat from two different outside energy sources. In one application the heat pump receives heat from the outside air at 0°C. In a second application the heat pump receives heat from a lake having a water temperature of 10°C. If electricity costs $0.105/kWh, determine the maximum money saved by using the lake water rather than the outside air as the outside energy source.
An electrical current flows through a long bar, generating thermal energy at a rate uniform volumetric of q = 2 × 105 W/m 3. The bar is concentric with a hollow ceramic cylinder, creating an air-filled space between the two. If the external surface temperature cannot exceed 40 °C, what is the minimum speed that the ambient air should be blown? the neighborhood meets at 25 °C and the emissivity of the ceramic is 0.8. If the bar has an emissivity of 0.2, what is the bar surface temperature?

A tank having a volume of 0.85 m3 initially contains water at 260 oF and x = 0.7. Saturated vapor is slowly withdrawn at the top of the tank as energy is transferred by heat to maintain constant pressure. The process continues until the tank is filled with just saturated vapor. Determine the heat transferred in kJ. Show all your calculations.
