The side walls of a refrigerator are made from two thin layers of sheet metal, each 1/8 in. thick, and with thermal conductivity of k = 42 Btu/h·ft·°F , and a 2-in foam insulation with k = 0.027 Btu/h·ft·°F . If the inside and outside surface temperatures of the refrigerator wall are 35 ºF and 70 ºF, respectively, calculate the heat loss through an area of 8 ft^2.
