A new building to be located in a cold climate is being designed with a basement that has an L = 200 -mm-thick wall. Inner and outer basement wall temperatures are T i = 20 ° C and T o = 0 ° C, respectively. The architect can specify the wall material to be either aerated concrete block with k a c = 0.15 W / m ⋅ K, or stone mix concrete. To reduce the conduction heat flux through the stone mix wall to a level equivalent to that of the aerated concrete wall. what thickness of extruded polystyrene sheet must be applied onto the inner surface of the stone mix concrete wall? Floor dimensions of the basement are 20 m × 30 m and the expected rental rate is $ 50 /m 2 / month. What is the yearly cost. in terms of lost rental income. if the stone mix concrete wall with polystyrene insulation is specified?

On a multi-layered square wall, the thermal resistance of the first layer is 0.005 ° C / W, the resistance of the second layer is 0.3 ° C / W, and the third layer is 0.1 ° C / W. The overall temperature gradient in the wall is multilayered from one side. to the other side is 50 ° C. a. Determine the heat flux through the walls. = Answer watts / m2. b. If the thermal resistance of the second layer is changed to 0.1 ° C / W, what is the effect in% on heat flux, assuming the temperature gradient remains the same? = AnswerAnswer %.
Question 6
A steel pipe (k = 48 W/m-K) of a heating system carries wet steam at 120 °C. The inner and outer
diameters of the pipe are 15 cm and 16 cm respectively. The pipe is insulated on the outside with
rockwool insulation (k = 0.05 W/m K) of thickness 8 cm. The ambient air temperature is 32 °C. The
outside heat transfer coefficient is 20 W/m2-K. The thermal resistance between the inner pipe surface
and the steam is negligible. Calculate the rate of heat flow (in W) from the steam to the ambient over a
5 m length of pipe.
