A wall is constructed of two layers of sheetrock (k = 0.10 Btu/hr-ft-F°) separated by 12 inches of fiberglass insulation (k = 0.020 Btu/hr-ft-F°). The two layers of sheetrock are 3/4 of an inch thick so the wall is sheetrock, insulation then sheetrock.
What is the thermal resistance of this construction (there are no studs!) in units of hr-F°/Btu to three significant digits?

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. The heat transfer rate is:
1. A ¾ inch (nominal), Schedule 40, mild steel pipe carries 40 psia steam through a room having an air temperature of 80°F. The pipe is covered with a 0.125 ft thick layer of fiberglass insulation having a thermal conductivity of 0.037 Btu/(h ft ‘F). The hi value on the steam side of the pipe is 1000 Btu/h ft2 °F. The ho value on the outside of the insulation is 2.0 Btu/(h ft2 ’F). For the mild steel, k=26Btu/(ft H...
1.17 A thin, 0.5 inch diameter copper (k = 220 Btu / hr-ft-F) rod spans the distance between two parallel plates 6 inches apart. Air flows in the space between the plates, providing a heat transfer coefficient of 40 Btu / hr-ft2-F at the surface of the rod. The surface temperature of the plates exceeds that of the air by 100 F. By how much does the temperature at the midpoint of the rod exceed the temperature of the air...
A construction crew is building an ice rink. A wall 10 m high by 30 m long separates the cold rink (40◦F) from the nice warm locker (75◦F) room. The wall has two layers of drywall that are 0.5 inch thick each and have a thermal conductivity of 0.17 W/m K. What should the R-value be of the insulation between the walls to keep the rate of heat transfer to a maximum of 40 W?
QUESTION 1 The wall of a refrigerator is constructed of fiberglass insulation (k - 0.035 W/m "C) sandwiched between two layers of 1-mm-thick sheet metal (k-15.1 W/m. "C). The refrigerated space is maintained at 3°C, and the average heat transfer coefficients at the inner and outer surfaces of the wall are 4 W/m2. "C and 9 W/m2. C, respectively. The kitchen temperature averages 25°C. It is observed that condensation occurs on the outer surfaces of the refrigerator when the temperature...
