Heat transfer

Transcribed Image Text:A dormitory at a large university, built 50 years
ago, has exterior walls constructed of L. = 25-
mm-thick sheathing with a thermal
k,
conductivity of K₁= 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
Lg
extruded insulation is, in turn, covered with an
L₁= 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
Top = -20°C, respectively. The inner and outer
convection heat transfer coefficients are h, = 5
W/m2.K and = 25 W/m2.K, respectively.
h₂
The heat flux through the original walls is
W/m2.
The heat flux through the retrofitted walls is
W/m2.
