Calculate the decrease in heat loss in kilowatt-hours per day when a 1.2 m × 2.1 m uncoated single-pane window is replaced with a double-glazed window with a low-e coating and argon fill (a relatively common configuration for current win- dows). The inside temperature is a constant 20°C, and the outside temperature is a constant –5°C.

An engineer proposes to decrease the gap between the windows of double pane window to decrease heat transfer. Is it good approach or not? No, because by this way, radiation heat transfer will increase No, because by this way, current loops will be created inside the gap Yes, because by this way, less air will be trapped and therefore better insulation Not sufficient information Yes, because by this way, radiation heat transfer will decrease
The emissivity of galvanized steel sheet, a common roofing material, is ε = 0.13 at temperatures around 300 K, while its absorptivity for solar irradiation is αS = 0.65. Would the neighborhood cat be comfortable walking on a roof constructed of the material on a day when GS = 750 W/m2, T∞ = 16°C, and h = 7 W/m2 · K? Assume the bottom surface of the steel is insulated.
In a new residential project, you strongly believe thatdouble-paned windows are ‘better’ than single-paned windows.Compare the rate of heat loss between single and double-panedwindows (1.5 m x 1 m) if the thickness of each pane is (th = 0.4 cm)and (k = 0.9 W/m.K). The indoor and outdoor temperatures are 18°C and 2 °C, respectively. Thickness of the air gap between thedouble-paned windows is (th = 1 cm), and (k = 0.022 W/m.K).Image credit: Windowwhirl.
