The thermal conductivity of concrete is 0.80W/(m ·K), and the thermal conductivity of a certain wood is 0.10W/(m · K). How thick would a solid concrete wall have to be to have the same rate of heat flow as an 8.0-cm-thick solid wall of this wood? Both walls have the same surface area and the same interior and exterior temperatures
