Question

A wall is constructed using bricks made of 3 different materials (A, B, C) as shown in the figure (all 
dimensions are in cm). The depth of the wall is ( w = 20 ),  The pattern repeats 
itself every 20 cm distance in the vertical direction. Thermal conductivities of the materials are given as kA=0.5
W/mK, kB=1 and kC=0.35. Inside and outside temperatures are 20 oC and 45 oC, respectively. Considering only 
convection inside (h=10 W/m2K) and both convection (h=25 W/m2K) and radiation (h=20 W/m2K) outside: 

w (m) = ?

(a) Draw the thermal resistance network

(b) Total thermal resistance

(c) Total heat transfer rate from the repeated section

(d) Temperature Tx
