Calculate the heat loss from a double-pane glass window consisting of two pieces of glass, each having a thickness of 10 mm with a thermal conductivity of k = 1.3 W/m.K . The two glass panes are separated by an air gap of 7 mm. Assume thermal conductivity of air to be k = 0.022 W/m.K .
Imagine a parcel of air that has a temperature of 40°C at the surface and a dew-point temperature of 20°C at the lifting condensation level. Assume that the environmental lapse rate is 8°C per 1000 meters, the dry adiabatic lapse rate is 10°C per 1000 meters, and the wet adiabatic lapse rate is 6°C/1000 meters. In Table C , record the environmental temperature, the parcel temperature, and the temperature difference (parcel temperature minus the environmental temperature), and then determine whether the atmosphere is stable or unstable at each height. a. What is the height of the lifting condensation level? b. Does this example describe absolute stability, absolute instability, or conditional instability? c. Would you forecast thunderstorms under these conditions?
