Question

Part A Some properties of glass are listed here.

Density: 2300 kg/m^3

Specific heat: 840 J/kg·C°

Coefficient of linear thermal expansion: 8.5 × 10^-6 (C°)^-1

Thermal conductivity: 0.80 W/(m·C°)

A glass window pane is 1.8 m high, 1.5 m wide, and 2.0 mm thick. The temperature at the inner surface of the glass is 20°C and at the outer surface 4.0°C. How much heat is lost each hour through the window under steady state conditions?

Answer choices

a.) 1.7×104 J

b.) 6.2×105 J

c.) 17 J

d.) 6.2×104 J

e.) 6.2×107 J

Thank you for your help. It is appreciated.

Explanation / Answer


rate of heat transfer P = K*A*dT/l

amount of heat transfer Q = P*t

Q = K*A*dT*t/l

K = thermal conductivity

A = area of cross section = 1.8*1.5

l = thickness


dT = temperature difference


t = time interval


Q = 0.8*1.8*1.5*(20-4)*60*60/(2*10^-3)

Q = 6.2*10^7 J <<<-answer
