A 6-m-wide, 2.8-m-high wall is constructed of one layer of common brick (k = 0.72 W/m · °C) of thickness 20 cm, one inside layer of light-weight plaster (k = 0.36 W/m · °C) of thickness 1 cm, and one outside layer of cement based covering (k = 1.40 W/m · °C) of thickness 2 cm. The inner surface of the wall is maintained at 23°C while the outer surface is exposed to outdoors at 8°C with a combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient of 17 W/m2 · °C. Determine the rate of heat transfer through the wall and temperature drops across the plaster, brick, covering, and surface-ambient air.
