Heat and Mass Transfer: Fundamentals and Applications
- A 4-m-high and 6-m-wide wall consists of a long 15-cm × 25-cm cross section of horizontal bricks (k= 0.72 W/m K) separated by 3-cm- thick plaster layers (k= 0.22 W/m·K). There are also 2-cm-thick plaster layers on each side of the wall and a 2-cm-thick rigid foam (k= 0.026 W/m-K) on the inner side of the wall. The indoor and the outdoor temperatures are 23°C and -4°C, and the convection heat transfer coefficients on the inner and the outer sides are hy = 10 W/m2 .K and hz = 20 W/m2 .K, respectively. Assuming one- dimensional heat transfer and disregarding radiation, determine the rate of heat transfer through the wall.

The studs are placed vertically 60 cm apart, and the space between them is filled with fiberglass insulation (k = 0.034 W/m·K). The house is maintained at 20°C and the ambient temperature outside is 29°C. Taking the heat transfer coefficients at the inner and outer surfaces of the house to be 8.3 and 34 W/m2·K, respectively, determine (a) the thermal resistance of the wall considering a representative section of it and (b) the rate of heat transfer through the wall.arrow_forwardA cylindrical cold storage facility with an inner diameter of 4m and height of 2m is constructed. For the wall, the first layer is 6 cm of glass wool (0.1 W/m-C), followed by 30 cm of concrete. The temperature inside is maintained at -10C (hin = 55 W/m^2-C) while the outside temperature is 10°C (hout = 22 w/m^2-C).
