Consider a wall that consists of two layers, A and B, with the following values: kA = 0.8 W/m·ºC, LA = 8 cm, kB = 0.2 W/m·ºC, LB = 5 cm. If the temperature drop across the wall is 18ºC, the rate of heat transfer through the wall per unit area of the wall is a. 89.6 W/m² b. 72.0 W/m² c. 153 W/m² d. 51.4 W/m² e. 180 W/m²
