1. A house has a composite wall of wood, fiberglass insulation, and plaster board, as indicated below. On a cold winter day the convection heat transfer coefficients are ho = 60 W/m2K and hi = 30 W/m2K. The total wall surface area is 350 m2. (a) Determine the heat transfer rate through the wall in Watts. (b) If the wind were blowing violently, raising ho to 300 W/m2K, determine the percentage increase in the heat transfer rate. (c) What is...
Consider the following composite wall of a building. It is made out of plaster board (Lp 0.85 W/mK), glass fibre insulation (Lb-160 mm, k = 0.050 W/mK) and plywood (1,-40 m m, k = 0.70 W/mK) as shown below. On a certain day, the convective heat transfer coefficients inside and outside of the building are 35 W/m2K and 65 W/m2 K respectively. The inside and outside temperatures are 24°C and 36°C respectively. The wall has a total surface area of...

I need MATLAb programming for above example . Ido not want ay theory or numerical explaination 8. In order to increase the thermal resistance of a typical exterior frame wall, such as the one in Example 1.2, t is customary to use 2 × 6 studs instead of 2 × 4 studs to allow for place ment of more insulation within the wall cavity. A typical exterior (2 X 6) frame wall of a house consists of the materials shown...
1) A frame wall of the bedroom of a house has the following specifications: – Wall: 12 ft. by 8 ft., wood siding, wood sheathing, 2 in. of insulation with R-7 value, and inside finish – Window: 3 ft. by 4 ft. 6 in., single glass, aluminum frame The room temperature is 68º F and the outdoor temperature is 2º F. What is the heat transfer through the total assembly (wall and window combined)? 2) Consider a 1 ft ×...
PLease calculate the question about condensation in building (d) A wall consists of 15mm dense plaster (1), 100 medium weight concrete blockwork (2), 40mm glass fiber quilt (3), a 10mm air space (4) and 105mm brickwork (5). The composition of the wall is shown in Figure 1. In a winter day, the indoor air temperature and relative humidity are maintained at 20°C and 60% while the outdoor air temperature is 0°C. The vapor resistivities of the wall components are shown...
A 100 ft2 wall consists of 4 in of red brick (k = 0.38 Btu-ft/hr-ft-°F), 1 inch of pine (k = 0.06 Btu-ft/hr- ft-°F) and 42 inch of plaster board (k = 0.30 Btu-ft/hr-ft-°F). The internal and external film heat transfer coefficients are 1.65 Btu/hr-ft-°F and 6.00 Btu/hr-ft-'F respectively. The inside and outside air temperatures are 72 °F and 30 °F respectively.
