A house has a composite wall of WOod, fiberglass insulation, and plaster board, as indicated in the sketch. On a cold day, the temperature and the convection heat trans- fer coefficients are Tei=20°C, h;=30 W/m²K and To=-15°C, h, =60 W/m²K. The wall surface area is 350 m². Determine the total heat loss through the wall. Conductivities are given as k,=0.038 W/m.K, k̟=0.012 W/m.K, k,=0.17 W/m.K.

Heat transfer

A house has a composite wall of wood, fiberglass insulation, and plaster board, as
indicated in the sketch. On a cold day, the temperature and the convection heat trans-
fer coefficients are Tei=20°C, h;=30 W/m²K and Teo=-15°C, h,=60 W/m²K. The
wall surface area is 350 m?. Determine the total heat loss through the wall.
Conductivities are given as k,=0.038 W/m.K, k, =0.012 W/m.K, k,=0.17 W/m.K.
