A double-glazed window has
b(:0wp )hk cnw two panes of glass separated by an air space, Fig. 14–20. (a) Show that the r
kw (pcn:h0 w)bate of heat flow through such a window by conduction is given by
$\frac{Q}{t}$ = $\frac{A(T_2-T_1)}{l_2/k_1+l_2/k_2+l_3/k_3}$,
where $k_1$,$k_2$ and $k_3$ are the thermal conductivities for glass, air, and glass, respectively. (b) Generalize this expression for any number of materials placed next to one another.
