The inner and outer surfaces of a thick 2-m by 2-m window glass in winter are 10 C and 3 C, respectively. If the thermal conductivity of the glass is W/m K, determine the amount of heat loss through the glass over a period of 5 h. What would your answer be if the glass were 1 cm thick? (Problem from text.) This is a basic conduction problem where Q&=kA T/L.

component of the conductive and radiative heat transfer so that we get the correct net heat transfer into the wall. Once we find the conduction heat flux from this sum, we can find the thermal conductivity by solving the usual equation for conduction heat transfer, q&=kΔT/L, to give the thermal conductivity, k = Lq&/ΔT.
