A certain building wall consists of 6-in of concrete ( k = 1.2 W/m-°C), 2 in of fiberglass insulation (k = 0.026 W/m-°C), and 3/8 in of gypsum board ( k = 0.05 W/m-°C).The inside and outside convection coefficients are 2.0 and 7.0 BTU/hr-ft²-"F, respectively. The outside air temperature is 72 °F and the inside air temperature is 20 °F. Calculate, the heat loss per for 1 m? area of the wall.
