QUESTION 2
The wall of a refrigerated truck consists of 1.5mm sheet steel
outer surface, 10mm plywood at the inner surface and 20mm
of glass wool in between. The inside temperature is -15°C
and outside temperature is 240C. Take the thermal
conductivities of the materials as follows: -
0,052W/mK
= 23,2W/mK
k for glass-wool = 0,14W/mK
k for plywood
k for steel

Calculate:
2.1. the rate of heat flow per unit area;
2.2. the interface temperature.
If the glass-wool is replaced by a 5mm cork board with a
thermal conductivity of 0.043W/mK;
2.3. What percentage change in heat flow is obtained?
2.4. What must be the thickness of the cork board be, to
achieve the same heat flow as in (2.1.).
