Question

A wall (of thermal conductivity 0.98 W/m · ◦ C) of a building has dimensions of 3.7 m by 15 m. The average inside and outside temperatures are, respectively, 12◦C and 8◦C. If the heat transfer rate through the wall is 1540 W, what is the thickness of the wall in centimeters? Answer in units of cm. ________

Answer 1

Answer:

the amount of energy flowing is 1.008x10⁹J

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how much heat flows, the expression is the following:

Where

K=thermal conductivity=0.81W/m°C

A=area=6.2*12=74.4m²

ΔT=30-8=22°C

L=thickness=8cm=0.08m

t=time=16.9h=60840s

Replacing:
