Question
You are designing a new eco-friendly thermal coffee mug. It is shaped like a small globe to minimize surface area, which is only about O.04m^2. You use
two 0.003m layers of recyclable PETE which has a thermal conductivity, k, of 0.2W/mK around a 0.01m layer of dead air, with a thermal conductivity of
0.026W/mK. Since this is for hot coffee, use a temperature difference of 40K. Q = Ax (T2-T1) / (R1 + R2 + etc) R =X/k.
A)what is the R-value for each of the two PETE layers?
B) what is the R-value for the dead air?
C) Which layer is the best insulator?
D. What is the heat loss through the surface in Watts?
