Calculate the rate of loss of heat through a glass window of area `1000 cm^(2)` and thickness 0.4 cm when temperature inside is `37^(@)C` and outside is `-5^@)C` . Coefficient of thermal conductivity of glass is `2.2 xx 10^(-3) cal s^(-1) cm^(-1) K^(-1)`.

Answer» Here, `A =1000 cm^(2), Delta x = 0.4 cm`,
`T_(1) = 37^(@)C = 273 + 37 = 310 K`
`T_(2) = 273 - 5 = 268 K`,
`K = 2.2 xx 10^(-3) cal s^(-1) cm^(-1) K^(-1)`
Rate of loss of heat
`=(Delta Q)/(Delta t) = (KA Delta T)/(Delta x) = (KA(T_(1)-T_(2)))/(Delta x)`
`=((2.2 xx 10^(-3)) xx 1000 xx (310 - 268))/(0.4)`
`=231 cal s^(-1)`.
