Window Energy Transfer
Not what you're looking for?
A window has a glass surface area of 1.6x10^3 cm^2 and a thickness of 3.0 mm.
a) Find the rate of energy transfer by conduction through the windows when the temperature of the inside surface of the glass is 70 degrees F and the outside temperature is 90 degrees F.
b) Repeat for the same inside temperature and an outside temperature of 0 degrees F.
