Question
The heat loss through the roof of a building is 32.4 kW during the
winter, when the temperature and relative humidity inside the building
are 22°C and 60% respectively, the temperature outside the building is
-8°C, the dimensions of the ceiling are 12m x 25m. One of the
engineers suggested adding a thermal insulator of thickness 2 cm to the
roof so, the heating load from the ceiling reduced by half. Assume
f-9.26 W/m. "C. Find:
(a) Is the water vapor condenses on the inner surface of the roof before
adding thermal insulator.
(b) The thermal conductivity of the insulator, which proposed to add.
