JBGN

The figure shows the cross section of a wall made of three layers. The thicknesses of the layers are L1. L2 =0.500 L1. and L3 = 0.350 L1.
The thermal conductivities are k1, k2 = 0.840 k1, and kg = 0.660 k1. The temperatures at the left and right sides of the wall are TH = 21°C
and Tc = -15 °C, respectively. Thermal conduction is steady.
