A multilayer wall has a thermal resistance of 0.0058 ° C / W in the inner layer, 0.28 °C/W in the middle layer and 0.18 ° C/W in the outer layer. The total temperature difference across the wall is 70 ° C. a. Find the heat flow through the wall (per unit area). b. If we increase the heat resistance in the middle layer up to 0.48 ° C/W, then there will be a relative change in the heat flow if the temperature difference remains unchanged. Please answer as a percentage (%) of the heat flow in item a).

Question
A multilayer wall has a thermal resistance of 0.0058 ° C/ W in the inner layer, 0.28 ° C/ W in
the middle layer and 0.18 ° C/ W in the outer layer. The total temperature difference across
the wall is 70 ° C.
a. Find the heat flow through the wall (per unit area).
b. If we increase the heat resistance in the middle layer up to 0.48 ° C/ W, then there will be
a relative change in the heat flow if the temperature difference remains unchanged. Please
answer as a percentage (%) of the heat flow in item a).
