A wood wall 2.5 m ( 8 ft) x 7 m ( 23 ft) x 2.5 cm ( 1 in) thick has thermal conductivity k=0.1 W/Km. A. Find the R-value of the wall (in SI units, of course). B. If the inside and outside temperatures are 20°C and 5°C respectively, find the heat flow in watts passing through the wall. C. Now include the R-values of the air layers inside (Rm=0.12 m²K/W) and outside (Reut=0.06 m²K/W) the wall. Find the new heat flow. (Note: Just add all the R's.) D. Add 10 cm of fiberglass (ks=0.05 W/Km) to the wall. Find the R-value of the fiberglass layer. E. Find the heat flow through the wall in Watts, including air, wood, and fiberglass. 9.1
(Picture of problem attached)
A wood wall 2.5 m (» 8 ft) ´ 7 m (» 23 ft) ´ 2.5 cm (» 1 in) thick has thermal conductivity k = 0.1 W/Km.
A. Find the R-value of the wall (in SI units, of course).
B. If the inside and outside temperatures are 20°C and 5°C respectively, find the heat flow in watts passing through the wall.
C. Now include the R-values of the air layers inside (Rin = 0.12 m^2 K/W) and outside (Rout = 0.06 m^2 K/W) the wall. Find the new heat flow. (Note: Just add all the R’s.)
D. Add 10 cm of fiberglass (kf = 0.05 W/Km) to the wall. Find the R-value of the fiberglass layer.
E. Find the heat flow through the wall in Watts, including air, wood, and fiberglass.
