Consider a single pane glass window that has an area of 8ft^2 and is 3/16” thick. The outside temperature is -10oC and the inside temperature is 21oC. [9]

a.How much heat flows through the window in 8 hours? Use an R-value.

b. In reality, all surfaces have a thin layer of air covering them that does not move. This air“film” is about .0005m thick. Calculate how much heat flows through the window in the 8 hour period with the addition of this film of air on both sides of the window

Most windows are double-pane glass with ½” Argon gas between the two panes. If the R-value of Argon gas is 0.54 W^-1 •m2•oC for a thickness of 1 cm, find:

i.The effective RSI-value of the window.

ii.The effective R-value of the window.

iii.The effective U -value of the window
