The inner and outer surface temperature of a glass window 10 mm thick are 25 and 5 degree-C, respectively. What is the heat loss through a 1 m x 3 m window

Respuesta :

Answer:

The  heat loss is  [tex]H = 8400\ W[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The thickness is  [tex]t = 10 \ mm = 0.01 \ m[/tex]

    The inner temperature is  [tex]T_i = 25 ^oC[/tex]

    The outer temperature is [tex]T_o = 5 ^oC[/tex]

    The length of the window is  L  = 1 m  

    The  width of the window is  w  =  3 m  

Generally the heat loss is mathematically represented as

      [tex]H = \frac{k * A * \Delta T}{t}[/tex]

Where  k is the thermal conductivity of glass with value [tex]k = 1.4\ W/m \cdot K[/tex]

   and A  is the area of the window with value

           [tex]A = 1 * 3[/tex]

            [tex]A = 3 \ m^2[/tex]

substituting values

       [tex]H = \frac{1.4 * 3 * (23-5)}{0.01}[/tex]

       [tex]H = 8400\ W[/tex]
