(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 in Table 1. The vapor pressure decreases from the surface of component 1 (concrete blockwork to the interface between 1 and 2 and the reduction is found to be 30 Pa. Determine: i) the rate of water vapor transport through the wall. (15%) (ii) the relative humidity of the outdoor air (15%) Table 1. vapor resistivity of the wall components vapor resistivity (GN.s/kg.m) Material Dense plaster 50 Medium weight concrete blockwork 200 Glass fibre quilt 10 Brickwork 40
