Question
A composite structural wall having a thermal conductivity of 0.3 W/mK and a thickness of 100 mm is being replaced by a concrete wall
having thermal conductivity 0.9 W/mK. If the heat rate is to be 80% of the heat rate through the composite wall, the wall thickness (in mm)
required for concrete wall is. Assume both walls are subjected to the same surface temperature difference.
