Question
b) A double glazed window, 1.3m high and 2.4m wide consists of two layers of
glass each 4mm thick separated by a 23mm air gap. This window is a
replacement for a single glazed unit. The double glazed unit is installed in the
wall of a room in which the air temperature is maintained at 23 degreesC, the
outer surface of the window is exposed to the atmospheric temperature which
is 2 degreesC. The surface heat transfer coefficient of the room side glass is
5.7 W/m?K and 9.1 W/m?K on the outer surface of the window. The thermal
conductivity of the glass is known to be 0.76 W/mK.
i) On the assumption that the air gap between the layers may be regarded
as a stationary layer of air of thermal conductivity 0.026 W/mK, calculate
the heat transfer rate through the window and the temperature of the room
side surface of the glass.
ii) Calculate the heat transfer rate for the single glazed unit which has been
replaced. The window was of the same dimensions consisting of a single
pane of glass. It may be assumed that all of the remaining data are
unchanged.
