Homework Statement



1) The inner and outer surfaces of a glass window of area 2.5 m2 are at 22 ºC and 0 ºC respectively. What is the heat lost in 1 second if the glass is 5mm thick and has a thermal conductivity of 1.1 Wm^-1K^-1 ?

2) The same sheet of glass as described in the [above Question] is used as a window in a room at 23 ºC when the general outside temperature is -14 ºC. If the inner and outer heat transfer coefficients are both 17.0 Wm^-2K^-1, what is the temperature of the outside surface of the glass?

Can Anyone help me solve these two questions, Please? (with the formula used)

:)

Hi MoZeS, welcome to PF.

You have given the thermal conductivity and note that there is a unit: W/(m K)
So what does the thermal conductivity express?
 
dQ/dt=kA(d theta/dx)
given,A=2.5m^2, x=5mm, k=1.1 Wm^-1K^-1
dQ/dt=kA(final temp-initial temp.)/x
=(1.1)(2.5)(22)/(5x10^-3)
=1.21x10^4W
Q=1.21x10^4J since, Q/t=1.21x10^4W
Q=1.21x10^4W/1s
therefore W/s = J
part 2, try on ur own ...
is same formulae...
dQ/dt=1.21x10^4W
so, subst. in the equation and find the final temp.
 
Welcome to PF lyming.
Please note that we don't give out complete solutions here at PF. Moreover, I don't really see what formula you are using (what is theta?) and how you are getting Q from dQ/dt. Also, there must be some mathematical errors, because I happen to know that W = J / s while you write W/s = J.

Finally, I think no looked up formula is needed at all and one can infer the answer by simply looking at the units of the given conductivity.
 
I see this one's been dead a while, but if someone want to help me out here...
I get the first part, but I'm struggling on the second one.
Do I still need to use the 1 second? And how to do I change the heat flow to temperature? Or is there a delta Temp used to solve this part?
 
Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
