Determine the temperature distribution and the moisture migration through the wall shown in Figure 8-33.
The temperature distribution and the moisture migration through the composite wall
require both a heat transfer and mass transfer analysis through the wall. Referring to
the sketch for station points,
For the heat transfer analysis steady state one-dimensional conduction is assumed.
Fourier’s law is used and the thermal resistances for each of the components are
determined. The total overall heat transfer through the wall is determined and then
each i-component to predict the various temperatures.
The temperatures at the various stations can then be determined. For instance, through
the concrete,
