3-Typical asphalt roofing shingles have a thermal conductivity of about 0.79 W/m-k. If the temperature inside the house is 75 F and the temperature outside is 5 F, find the heat flux ( the rate of heat transfer divided by the surface area through which conduction occurs ) through a 2 cm thick asphalt shingle roof.
