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 0.04m^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. What is the heat lose through the surface in watts?
