Explanation The effects of the conductivity of insulating material and thickness of sheet metal is solved by engineering equation solver (EES) and plotted by following the below steps and can be verified by formulating the given input. Open the EES software. Create a new file by clicking on the "New" of the "File" menu. Type the following code in the dialogue box. "GIVEN" L_metal = 0.001 [m] K_metal = 15.1[W/m-C] K_ins = 0.035 [W/m-C] T_refrig= 2 [C] T_kitchen= 24 [C] h_i = 4 [W/m^2-C] h_o =9 [W/m^2-C] T_s_out = 20 [C] "ANALYSIS" A = 1 [m^2] R_conv_1 =1/(h_1*A) Q_dot =h_o*A*(T_kitchen − T_s_out) Q_dot = (T_kitchen − T_refrig)/R_total R_total =R_conv_i+2*R_metal+R_ins+R_conv_o R_conv_i = 1/(h_i*A) R_metal = (L_metal)/(k_metal*A) R_ins = (L_ins*convert(mm,m))/(k_ins*A) R_conv_o = 1/(h_o*A) Now, the thickness of insulation with respect to the thermal conductivity in the range of 0.02 W/m.K to 0.08 W/m.Kis plotted in the table given below: K i n s [W/m.C] Lins [cm] 0.02 0.2553 0.025 0.3191 0.03 0.3829 0.035 0.4468 0.04 0.5106 0.045 0.5744 0.05 0.6382 0.055 0.702 0.06 0.7659 0.065 0.8297 0.07 0.8935 0.075 0.9573 0.08 1.021
