A concrete wall of a cold storage room measures 3.0 m high, 5.0 m wide, and 20 cm thick. The inside wall is to be covered by a layer of wood in order to reduce the rate of heat flow through the wall by 90 percent

The inner surface of the wooden wall is maintained at -10°C and the outer surface of the concrete wall is at 20°C. The thermal conductivities of concrete and wood are 0.80 W/m ? K (concrete) and 0.040 W/m ? K (wood). What should be the thickness of the layer of wood? A) 100 mm B) 90 mm C) 60 mm D) 70 mm E) 80 mm
