a-carpenter-builds-an-exterior-house-wall-with-a-layer-of-wood-30-cm-thick-on-the-outside-and-a-laye

A carpenter builds an exterior house wall with a layer of wood 3.0 cm thick on the outside and a layer of Styrofoam insulation 2.2 cm thick on the inside wall surface. The wood has $k$ = 0.080 W/m $\cdot$ K, and the Styrofoam has $k$ = 0.027 W /m $\cdot$ K. The interior surface temperature is 19.0$^\circ$C, and the exterior surface temperature is -10.0$^\circ$C. (a) What is the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the Styrofoam? (b) What is the rate of heat flow per square meter through this wall?

A carpenter builds an exterior house wall with a layer of wood $3.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ thick on the outside and a layer of Styrofoam insulation $2.2 \mathrm{~cm}$ thick on the inside wall surface. The wood has $k=0.080 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{K},$ and the Styrofoam has $k=0.027 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{K} .$ The interior surface temperature is $19.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ and the exterior surface temperature is $-10.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. (a) What is the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the Styrofoam? (b) What is the rate of heat flow per square meter through this wall?

three-building-materials-plasterboard-leftk030-mathrmj-leftmathrms-cdot-mathrmm-cdot-mathrmccircrigh

Three building materials, plasterboard $\left[k=0.30 \mathrm{~J} /\left(\mathrm{s} \cdot \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{C}^{\circ}\right)\right],$ brick $\left[k=0.60 \mathrm{~J} /\left(\mathrm{s} \cdot \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{C}^{\circ}\right)\right],$ and wood $\left[k=0.10 \mathrm{~J} /\left(\mathrm{s} \cdot \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{C}^{\circ}\right)\right],$ are sandwiched together as the drawing illustrates. The temperatures at the inside and outside surfaces are $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, respectively. Each material has the same thickness and cross-sectional area. Find the temperature (a) at the plasterboard-brick interface and (b) at the brick-wood interface.
