During a winter day, the window of a patio door with a height of 1.8 m and width of 1.0 m shows a frostline near its base. The room wall and air temperatures are 15°C.
(a) Explain why the window would show a frost layer at the base rather than at the top.
(b) Estimate the heat loss through the window due to free convection and radiation. Assume the window has a uniform temperature of 0°C and the emissivity of the glass surface is 0.94. If the room has electric baseboard heating, estimate the corresponding daily cost of the window heat loss for a Utility rate of

- 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.arrow_forwardA geodesic dome constructed with an aluminum frameworkis a nearly perfect hemisphere; its diameter measures 55.0 m on a winterday at a temperature of -15°C.
