A small storage room has the dimensions of 20 m X 20m X 3m high. The walls of the storage consist of three layers; • Drywall (thickness = 0.5 inch, K = 0.5 W/mK), • Fiberglass (thickness = 2 cm, K = 0.1 W/mK), and • Brick (thickness = 8 cm, K = Ó.5 W/mK). On one of the walls, there is one small wooden door with the dimensions of 0.9 m X 2 m and thickness of 3 cm. The thermal conductivity of wood is 0.4 W/mK. The inside temperature of the storage room is to be maintained at 20°C, while the temperature outside is 0°C. The rate of heat lost through the roof is 30 kW. Heat loss through the floor can be ignored. a) Calculate the total heat loss from the storage room (kW).
