  1. Tinted Windows By Mark Thompson, Owen Carlson, Spencer Smith

  2. Introduction • Tinted windows reduce solar radiation that damages car interiors • Tint also keeps cars cool during summer and winter months • Tint reduces glare while driving

  3. Problem • Calculate the heat flux reduction through tinted windows.

  4. Conduction Vs. Radiation • Tinting is so thin that it is negligible in reducing heat transfer into the car through the windows. • Combination of convection and conduction through the rest of the car is important but has nothing to do with tinted windows • Reflecting radiation from the sun is what tinting does.

  5. Equipment & Calculations

  6. Radiation Measurement • A large part of the radiation is in the visible region. • F( 0->.4)= 0.1240 • F(.4->.7)= 0.3676 (visible) • F(.7->∞)= 0.5084 • Because of lack of equipment we couldn’t measure any of the other regions

  7. Results

  8. Results

  9. Calculations • Tinting reduced visible radiation about 60% • Even if tinting doesn’t block radiation in any other regions it still accounts for about: • .6 x .3676 = .22 or • 22% of total incident solar radiation • Most likely tinting also reduces radiation in other regions that would help reduce temperature and damage caused by solar radiation.

  10. Conclusion • Tinting reduced the amount of visible light in the car • It also reduced the temperature in the car • Tinting can protect car interiors from harmful light
