A carpenter builds an exterior house wall with a layer of wood 2.9 cm thick on the outside and a layer of Styrofoam insulation 2.1 cm thick on the inside wall surface. The wood has k=0.080W/(m⋅K), and the Styrofoam has k= 0.010 W/(m⋅K). The interior surface temperature is 19.0 ∘C , and the exterior surface temperature is -10.0 ∘C .
What is the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the Styrofoam?

The wall of a house is 3 m high, 10 m long and 30 cm thick; it has an effective thermal conductivity of 10 W/m K. The outer surface of the wall has an emissivity of 0.75. On a winter night, the outer surface of this wall is at a temperature of 0 °C and the air is at a temperature of –10 °C. The heat transfer coefficient for the outside wall is 8 W/m2 K. The outside wall also...
[6] A 20-cm thick wall of a house made of brick (k = 0.72W/m. C) is subjected to inside air at 22.C with a convection heat-transfer coefficient of 15 W/m2. C. The inner surface temperature of the wall is 18 C and the outside air temperature is -1 °C. Determine the outer surface temperature of the wall and the heat-transfer coefficient at the outer surface.
A concrete wall of a house is 45 cm thick and has a surface area 20m x 5 m. The inside temperature of the wall is 47 °C and the outside air temperature is 14 °C. Thermal conductivity of the concrete wall is 0.8 W/mK. Calculate the heat transfer rate through the wall by conduction and its thermal resistance.
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
(b) The brick wall of a building has dimensions of 4 m by 10 m, and it is 15 cm thick with a coefficient of thermal conductivity of 0.8 W.m1ec1. How much heat flows through the wall in a 12-hour period when the average inside and outside temperatures are 20 °C and 5 °C respectively? Will a 2 kW heater operating in the room compensate for the heat loss? Justify your answer. A layer of insulating material of thickness 5...
QUESTION 1 Quarter of the area of a 5m x 3m outside wall of a house is made of glass windows. The wall is 15 cm thick and has an average thermal conductivity of 0.8 W/m K. The window glass is 8 mm thick and has an average thermal conductivity of 0.15 W/m K. On a winter day the inside temperature of the wall and the glass is 20°C, and the outside air temperature is -10°C. The outside convection heat...
