In a new residential project, you strongly believethat double-paned windows are ‘better’ than singlepaned windows. Compare the rate of heat loss betweensingle and double-paned windows (1.5 m x 1 m) if thethickness of each pane is (th = 0.4 cm) and (k = 0.9W/m.K). The indoor and outdoor temperatures are 18°C and 2 °C, respectively. Thickness of the air gapbetween the double-paned windows is (th = 1 cm), and(k = 0.022 W/m.K). Image credit: Windowwhirl
Consider a cold aluminum canned drink that is initially at a uniform temperature of 4°C. The can is 12.5 cm high and has a diameter of 6 cm. If the combined convection/radiation heat transfer coefficient between the can and the surrounding air at 25°C is 10 W/m2 · °C, determine how long it will take for the average temperature of the drink to rise to 15°C. In an effort to slow down the warming of the cold drink, a person puts the can in a perfectly fitting 1-cm-thick cylindrical rubber insulator (k = 0.13 W/m · °C). Now how long will it take for the average temperature of the drink to rise to 15°C? Assume the top of the can is not covered.

The bottom surface of the block is at a temperature of 100°C and has an emissivity of 0.95. The ambient air is at 20°C, and the road surface is at 25°C. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the bottom surface of the engine block by convection and radiation as the car travels at a velocity of 80 km/h. Assume the flow to be turbulent over the entire surface because of the constant agitation of the engine block.

Four power transistors, each dissipating 12 W, are mounted on a thin vertical aluminum plate 22 cm * 22 cm in size. The heat generated by the transistors is to be dissipated by both surfaces of the plate to the surrounding air at 25°C, which is blown over the plate by a fan.
