A 30 cm thick wall of 5m x 3m size is made of red brick (k = 0.3 W/m °C). It is covered on both sides by layers of plaster, 2 cm thick (k = 0.6 W/m °C). The wall has a window size of 1m x 2m. The window door is made of 12 mm thick glass (k = 1.2 W/m °C). If the inner and outer surface temperatures are 15 °C and 40 °C. Make the calculation for the rate of heat flow through the wall.

Step 1
The total area of the wall is \(5 \mathrm{~m} \times 3 \mathrm{~m} = 15 \mathrm{~m}^2\). The area of the window is \(1 \mathrm{~m} \times 2 \mathrm{~m} = 2 \mathrm{~m}^2\). So, the effective area of the wall (excluding the window) is \(15 \mathrm{~m}^2 - 2 Show more…

A wall that is $2.74 \mathrm{m}$ high and $3.66 \mathrm{m}$ long has a thickness composed of $1.00 \mathrm{cm}$ of wood plus $3.00 \mathrm{cm}$ of insulation (with the thermal conductivity approximately of wool). The inside of the wall is $23.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and the outside of the wall is at $-5.00^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. (a) What is the rate of heat flow through the wall? (b) If half the area of the wall is replaced with a single pane of glass that is $0.500 \mathrm{cm}$ thick, how much heat flows out of the wall now?
