After building your fabulous square house in a previous quiz, you realize that you forgot to install a door. To rectify
After building your fabulous square house in a previous quiz, you realize that you forgot to install a door. To rectify this unfathomable oversight, you construct a solid wood door with dimensions of 2.00m×0.950m×5.50cm. Its thermal conductivity is kw=1.20×10^-1 W/m×k. The air films on the inner and outer surfaces of the door have the same combined thermal resistance as an additional 1.95 cm thickness of solid wood. The inside temperature is 20.0°C, and the outside temperature is -8.00°C. a) What is the rate of heat flow through your hastily constructed door? b) By what factor is the heat flow increased if a square window, 0.500 m on a side, is inserted in the door? The glass is 0.475 cm thick and has a thermal conductivity of kg=8.06×10^-1 W/m*K. The air films on the two sides of the glass have a totalnl thermal resistance that is the same as an additional 14.0 cm of glass.
