During a winter day, the window of a patio door with a height of 1.8 m and width of 1.0 m shows a frost line near its base (Fig. P17.85). The room wall and air temperatures are 15°C.

(a) Estimate the heat transfer through the window due to free convection and radiation. Assume the window has a uniform temperature of 0°C and the emissivity of the glass surface is 0.94. If the room has electric baseboard heating, estimate the corresponding daily cost of the window energy loss for a utility rate of 0.08 $/kW . h.
(b) Explain why the window would show a frost layer at the base rather than at the top.
