SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on calculating total radiation transmitted through double glazing consisting of two glass plates with an air gap, as well as determining total convective heat transfer across these plates. The user seeks to understand the heat loss due to forced convection and references the Nusselt number (Nu) as a function of Reynolds number (Re) and Prandtl number (Pr). A clear relationship between these parameters is essential for accurate heat transfer calculations in this context.
