A food cold storage room is to be constructed of an inner layer of 19.1 mm of pine wood, a middle layer of cork board, and an outer layer of 50.8 mm of concrete. The inside wall surface temperature is -17.8°C and the outside surface temperature is 29.4°C at the outer concrete surface. The mean conductivities are for pine, 0.151; cork, 0.0433; and concrete, 0.762 W /m. K. The total inside surface area of the room to use in the calculation is approximately 39 m² (neglecting corner and end effects). What thickness of cork board is needed to keep the heat loss to 586 W?

A food cold storage room is to be constructed of an inner layer of 19.1 mm of pine wood, a
middle layer of cork board, and an outer layer of 50.8 mm of concrete. The inside wall surface
temperature is -17.8°C and the outside surface temperature is 29.4°C at the outer concrete
surface. The mean conductivities are for pine, 0.151; cork, 0.0433; and concrete, 0.762 W /m. K.
The total inside surface area of the room to use in the calculation is approximately 39 m²
(neglecting corner and end effects). What thickness of cork board is needed to keep the heat loss
to 586 W?
