Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, a numerical study is carried out using MATLAB to investigate the heat transfer through the double and triple glass pane windows. The gabs between glass panels are filled with Argon gas. Calculations are performed for different outdoor temperatures which correspond to daily temperature in London, United Kingdom on April. The results of the temperature distribution profile in the cavities of multi-panel glass windows show that this type of window greatly affects the reduction of heat loss, as these glass panels act as radiation shields that suppress heat currents by slowing the flow in the cavity. It can be concluded that the amount of heat loss through windows is based greatly on the width of cavity between the glass layer, the thermal characteristics of the cavity filler and the temperature difference between the interior and the outside. As for the thickness of the glass panels, it was found to have an unnoticeable effect on the amount of heat transferred inside the multiple glass window system. In addition, the number of glass panes thought to have inconsiderable effect on the amount of the transferred heat within the multiple glass window systems.KeywordsDouble glassTriple glassWindowsLayerMATLAB
