Chapter 17: Problem 101
Compute the ratio of the rate of heat loss through a single-pane window with area 0.15 m\(^2\) to that for a double-pane window with the same area. The glass of a single pane is 4.2 mm thick, and the air space between the two panes of the double-pane window is 7.0 mm thick. The glass has thermal conductivity 0.80 W /m \(\cdot\) K. The air films on the room and outdoor surfaces of either window have a combined thermal resistance of 0.15 m\(^2 \cdot\) K/W.
