metal to the mould via radiation and conduction. Then heat is conducted through the mould
and convected to the atmosphere. Stating all assumptions, derive a system of equations to
carry out a transient analysis.
Exercise 2.5.6 Consider a 0.6-m high and 2-m wide double-glazed window consisting of
◦
two 4 mm thick layers of glass (k = 0.80 W/m C) separated by an 8-mm wide stagnant air
space (k = 0.025 W/m C). Determine the steady state heat transfer through the window and
◦
the temperature of the inner surface for a day when the outside air temperature is −15 C
◦
