A wall is constructed with two layers of sheetrock (k = 0.10 Btu/hr.ft.°F), each 0.6 inch thick, which isa type of plasterboard consisting of two layers of thick paper separated by a layer of gypsum, laid by 7inches. The arrangement of the layers of this material is shown in the image below. Spaces betweensheetrock are filled with fiberglass insulation (k = 0.020 Btu/hr.ft. °F). Determine the thermal resistanceof the wall with this arrangement. If the outside temperature of the sheetrock on the left is 340 °F andthe outside temperature on the right of the sheetrock layer is 100 °F, determine the rate of heat flowthrough this layer.SheetrockFiberglassinsulation0.6 in7 in0.6 in
