A brick wall has a thermal conductivity of 0.69 W/(m·K). One side of the wall is maintained at 30°C and the other side is 10°C. The correct equation to determine the heat transfer through the wall (in Watts) is:
Added by Brittney S.
Step 1
The heat transfer through the wall can be calculated using the formula: Q = kAΔT/d where Q is the heat transfer rate (in Watts), k is the thermal conductivity of the wall (in W/(m K)), A is the area of the wall (in m^2), ΔT is the temperature difference across Show more…

A wall is made of brick, with a thermal conductivity of 1.0 W/m-K, 230 mm thick, lined on the inner face with plaster of thermal conductivity 0.4 W/m-K and a thickness of 10 mm. If a temperature difference of 30 K is maintained between the two outer faces, what is the heat flow per unit area of the wall? A. 110 W B. 119 W C. 129 W D. 140 W

The inner surface of a plane brick wall is at 60°C and the outer surface is at 35.8°C. Calculate the rate of heat transfer per m² of surface area of the wall, which is 220 mm thick. The thermal conductivity of the brick is 0.51 W/m·°C.
