Heat transfer
A dormitory at a large university, built 50 years
ago, has exterior walls constructed of L, - 25-
mm-thick sheathing with a thermal
L₂
k, =
conductivity of K. - 0.1 W/m.K. To reduce heat
losses in the winter, the university decides to
encapsulate the entire dormitory by applying
an L = 25-mm-thick layer of extruded insulation
characterized by = 0.029 W/m.K to the
exterior of the original sheathing. The
extruded insulation is, in turn, covered with an
5-mm-thick architectural glass with k. - 1.4
W/m.K. Determine the heat flux through the
original and retrofitted walls when the interior
and exterior air temperatures are T, -22°C and
To, - -7.5°C, respectively. The inner and outer
convection heat transfer coefficients are 5

h₁ =
W/m2.K and h. - 25 W/m2.K, respectively.
h₂ =
Lg =
The heat flux through the original walls is
W/m2.
The heat flux through the retrofitted walls is
W/m2.
