Question
A wall has inner and outer surface temperatures of 16 and 6 C, respectively. The interior and
exterior air temperatures are 20 and 5 C, respectively. The inner and outer convection heat
transfer coefficients are 5 and 20 W/m²K, respectively. Calculate the heat flux from the interior
air to the wall, from the wall to the exterior air, and from the wall to the interior air. Is the wall
under steady-state conditions?
KNOWN: Inner and outer surface temperatures of a wall. Inner and outer air temperatures and
convection heat transfer coefficients.
FIND: Heat flux from inner air to wall. Heat flux from wall to outer air. Heat flux from wall to
inner air. Whether wall is under steady-state conditions.
