Two glass plates, radiation and heat transfer?

Click For Summary
To solve for total radiation transmitted through double glazing, consider the emissivity of the glass plates and apply the Stefan-Boltzmann law. For convective heat transfer, use the appropriate heat transfer coefficients for both plates, factoring in the air gap. To calculate heat loss due to forced convection, determine the Nusselt number using the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers, which can be related through empirical correlations or dimensionless analysis. Understanding the relationship between these variables is crucial for accurate calculations. This approach will provide a comprehensive understanding of heat transfer in the described system.

Hey, how would I start solving the total radiation transmitted through one plate, an air gap then another plate (double glazing) as well as the total convective heat transfer across the two plates?

Thanks!

Also, how would I find heat loss due to forced convection? I know that Nu=f(Re, Pr), but I don't know how I would find the function that relates them? :S
 
What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
