A composite wall is made up of an external thickness of brickwork 110mm thick inside which is a layer of fiberglass 75mm thick. The fiberglass is faced internally by an insulating board 25mm thick. The coefficient of thermal conductivity for the three are as follows: Brickwork 1.5 W/m-K Fiberglass 0.4 W/m-K Insulating Board 0.06 W/m-K The surface transfer coefficients of the inside wall is 3.1 W/m2-K while that of the outside wall is 2.5 W/m2-K. Take the internal ambient temperature as 10°C and the external temperature as 27°C. Determine the heat loss through such wall 6m high and 10m long. (kW)

Question
A composite wall is made up of an external thickness of brickwork 110mm thick inside
which is a layer of fiberglass 75mm thick. The fiberglass is faced internally by an insulating
board 25mm thick. The coefficient of thermal conductivity for the three are as follows:
Brickwork
1.5 W/m-K
Fiberglass
0.4 W/m-K
Insulating Board
0.06 W/m-K
The surface transfer coefficients of the inside wall is 3.1 W/m2-K while that of the outside
wall is 2.5 W/m2-K. Take the internal ambient temperature as 10°C and the external
temperature as 27°C. Determine the heat loss through such wall 6m high and 10m long.
