Question
A picture window has dimensions of 1.6 m by 2.4 m
and is made of glass 4 mm thick. On a winter day,
the outside temperature is 24° C while the inside
temperature is a comfortable at 19° C. (k of glass
=0.095W/m.K)
Calculate the following:
a) the area of the window in square metres
b) the temperature gradient (AT/Ax)in
kelvin/metre
b) the rate of heat lost through the window by
conduction in watts/metre.kelvin
