Consider a 2-m-wide 1.5-m-high wood-framed window with 3-mm-thick single-panel glass covering 85 percent of the area (k = 0.7 W/m °C). Pine wood (k = 0.12 W/m °C) is used for the frame, which is 5 cm thick. Inside, the heat transfer coefficient is 7 W/m2 °C, while outside, it is 13 W/m2 °C. The temperature in the room is kept at 24°C, while the outside temperature is 40°C. Considering and stating the necessary assumptions.   calculate the percent inaccuracy in heat transfer when the window is supposed to be made entirely of glass. (b) Consider the continuous heat flow through a room's wall in the winter. As a result of the winds, the convection heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface of the wall is three times that of the inner surface. Which side of the wall do you believe the temperature will be closest to the temperature of the surrounding air? Explain.

Consider a 2-m-wide 1.5-m-high wood-framed window with 3-mm-thick single-panel glass covering 85 percent of the area (k = 0.7 W/m °C). Pine wood (k = 0.12 W/m °C) is used for the frame, which is 5 cm thick. Inside, the heat transfer coefficient is 7 W/m2 °C, while outside, it is 13 W/m2 °C. The temperature in the room is kept at 24°C, while the outside temperature is 40°C. Considering and stating the necessary assumptions.

 

  1. calculate the percent inaccuracy in heat transfer when the window is supposed to be made entirely of glass.
  2. (b) Consider the continuous heat flow through a room's wall in the winter. As a result of the winds, the convection heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface of the wall is three times that of the inner surface. Which side of the wall do you believe the temperature will be closest to the temperature of the surrounding air? Explain.
