In the design of a cold-storage warehouse, the specifications call for a maximum heat transfer
through the warehouse walls of 30,000 joules per hour per square meter of wall when there is a
30°C temperature difference between the inside surface and the outside surface of the insulation.
The two insulation materials being considered are as follows:
Conductivity
(J-m/m²-°C-hr)
Cost per Cubic Meter
$12.50
14.00
Insulation Material
140
Rock wool
Foamed insulation
110
The basic equation for heat conduction through a wall is:
K(AT)
Q =
Q=heat transfer, in J/hr/m² of wall
K=conductivity in J-m/m2-°C-hr
AT =difference in temperature between the two surfaces, in °C
L=thickness of insulating material, in meters
where
Which insulation material should be selected?
