Question
P8.1 A wall of a building is 15 m long and 4 m high. It has a 9 mm
thick gypsum board (k = 0.16 Wm ¹K¹) on the inside. Next to it is a 140
mm thick layer of glass fiber insulation (k = 0.046 Wm¯¹K¯¹) which is
followed by a 180 mm thick layer of concrete (k = 2.1 Wm¯¹K¯¹). The
outer face is made brick (k = 1.35 Wm¯¹K¯¹) with a thickness of 100 mm.
The outside and inside heat transfer coefficients are 28 Wm ²K¯¹ and 8
Wm 2K¹ respectively. The inside and outside air temperatures are 23°C
and 2°C respectively. Calculate (i) the total thermal resistance, (ii) the
overall heat transfer coefficient, and (iii) the total heat transfer rate
through the wall.
