A carpenter builds a solid wood door with dimensions $2.00 \mathrm{~m} \times 0.95 \mathrm{~m} \times 5.0 \mathrm{~cm} .$ Its thermal conductivity is $k=0.120 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{K}$. The air films on the inner and outer surfaces of the door have the same combined thermal resistance as an additional $1.8 \mathrm{~cm}$ thickness of solid wood. The inside air temperature is $20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ and the outside air temperature is $-8.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. (a) What is the rate of heat flow through the door? (b) By what factor is the heat flow increased if a window $0.500 \mathrm{~m}$ on a side is inserted in the door? The glass is $0.450 \mathrm{~cm}$ thick, and the glass has a thermal conductivity of $0.80 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{K}$. The air films on the two sides of the glass have a total thermal resistance that is the same as an additional $12.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ of glass.

Key Concepts

Thermal Conductivity

Thermal conductivity is a material property that measures a material's ability to conduct heat. It quantifies the rate at which thermal energy is transferred through a material due to a temperature gradient. Materials with high thermal conductivity, such as metals, allow heat to pass through them more quickly than materials with low thermal conductivity.

Fourier's Law of Heat Conduction

Fourier's Law of Heat Conduction states that the rate of heat transfer through a material is proportional to the area through which the heat flows, the temperature difference across the material, and the material's thermal conductivity, while being inversely proportional to the thickness of the material. This fundamental law provides the basis for calculating heat transfer in a variety of settings.

Thermal Resistance

Thermal resistance is the opposition that a material or an assembly of materials offers to heat flow. It is analogous to electrical resistance and is calculated by taking the thickness of the material divided by the product of its thermal conductivity and the area through which heat is transferred. This concept is particularly useful when dealing with multiple layers or composite systems.

Composite Conduction

Composite conduction refers to the scenario where heat flows through multiple materials or layers in series, each with its own thermal resistance. The total thermal resistance is the sum of the individual resistances, allowing for the analysis of complex systems where different materials or additional thermal barriers, such as air films, are present.

Parallel Heat Flow Paths

Parallel heat flow paths occur when heat can flow through more than one pathway simultaneously, each with its own thermal resistance. In such systems, the overall heat transfer is determined by the combined effect of the individual paths, similar to the concept of parallel resistors in an electrical circuit. This allows for the calculation of the net heat transfer when areas with different conductive properties, like windows in a door, are present.
