Determine the rate of heat loss through the windows


Consider a house with inside air temperature of 22 °C. One of the walls of the house has three single-pane glass windows that are 1.5 m high and 1.2m long. The glass (k=0.78W/m. °C) is 0.5cm thick, and the convection heat transfer coefficient on the inner surface of the glass is 8W/m^2 °C. Now winds at 60 km/h start to blow parallel to the surface of this wall. If the outside air temperature is -2 °C, determine the rate of heat loss through the windoes of this wall. Assume radiation heat transfer to be negligible. Use the concept of thermal circuit to find heat transfer rate. fluid properties: k=0.02401 W/m °C, v=1.382x10^-5 m^2/s, Pr=0.7350.
