In a new residential project, you strongly believe that double-paned windows are ‘better’ than single-paned windows. Compare the rate of heat loss between single and double-paned windows (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 the double-paned windows is (th = 1 cm), and (k = 0.022 W/m.K). Image credit: Windowwhirl.

A spherical communications satellite, 2 m in diameter, is placed in orbit around the earth. The satellite generates 1000 W of internal power from a small nuclear generator. If the surface of the satellite has an emittance of 0.3, and is shaded from solar radiation by the earth, estimate its surface temperature.
A horizontal, 3-mm-thick flat-copper plate, 1-m long and 0.5-m wide, is exposed in air at 27C to radiation from the sun. If the total rate of solar radiation absorbed is 300 W and the combined radiation and convection heat transfer coefficients on the upper and lower surfaces are 20 and 15W/m2K, respectively, determine the equilibrium temperature of the plate.

Three thin sheets of polished aluminum are placed parallel to each other so that the distance between them is very small compared to the size of the sheets. If one of the outer sheets is at 280C and the other outer sheet is at 60C, calculate the temperature of the intermediate sheet and the net rate of heat flow by radiation. Convection can be ignored.

How does a fin enhance heat transfer at a surface?
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.
Discuss the significant and industrial application of heat transfer from extended surface (fins).
Consider a person who is trying to keep cool on a hot summer day by turning a fan on and exposing his body to air flow. The air temperature is 32°C, and the fan is blowing air at a velocity of 5 m/s. The surrounding surfaces are at 40°C, and the emissivity of the person can be taken to be 0.9. If the person is doing light work and generating sensible heat at a rate of 90 W, determine the average temperature of the outer surface (skin or clothing) of the person. The average human body can be treated as a 30-cmdiameter cylinder with an exposed surface area of 1.7 m2. Evaluate the air properties at film temperature of 35°C and 1 atm.
