Question

There are 3 windows in a room with a width of 100 cm and a height of 150 cm.
There is a single glass (k=0. 9 W/mK) of 5 mm thickness in the windows initially. Instead of these glasses to save heat
You are considering replacing it with double glazing consisting of 5 mm glass and 12 mm air (k=0.022 W/mK). Indoor and outdoor environment
temperatures are 20 0C and -10 0C, respectively, and the heat transfer coefficients are 7 W/m2 K and 25 W/m2 K. The total heat loss in the room is 3.5 kW.
when switching to double glazing;
a) Find the decrease in heat transfer.
b) Considering that the heat given by the heaters remains 3.5 kW, what would the room temperature be?
