On a cold winter day, the outer surface of a 0.2-m-thick concrete wall of a warehouse is exposed to a temperature of –5°C, while the inner surface is kept at 20°C. The thermal conductivity of the concrete is 1.2 W/(m K). Determine the heat loss through the wall, which is 10-m long and 3-m high.
GIVEN
10 m long, 3 m high, and 0.2 m thick concrete wall
Thermal conductivity of the concrete (k) = 1.2 W/(m K)
Temperature of the inner surface (Ti) = 20°C
Temperature of the outer surface (To) = –5°C
FIND
The heat loss through the wall (qk)
ASSUMPTIONS
