Consider 469 mm × 447 mm window in an aircraft. For a temperature difference of 98°C from the inner to the outer surface of the window, calculate the heat loss rate through L = 15-mm-thick polycarbonate, soda lime glass, and aerogel windows, respectively. The thermal conductivities of the soda lime glass, aerogel and polycarbonate are ksl = 1.960 W/m, kag = 0.011 W/m · K and kpc = 0.201 W/m · K, respectively. If the aircraft has 110 windows and the cost to heat the cabin air is $1.8/kW · h, compare the costs associated with the heat loss through the windows for an 10-hour intercontinental flight
