Wearing layers of clothing in cold weather is often recommended because dead-air spaces between the layers keep the body warm. The explanation for this is that the heat loss from the body is less. Compare the rate of heat loss for single 2 cm thick layer of wool [k = 0.04 W/(m K)] with three 0.67 cm layers separated by 1.5 mm air gaps. The thermal conductivity of air is 0.024 W/(m K).

GIVEN
• Wool insulation
• Thermal conductivities
? Wool (kw) = 0.04 W/(m K
? air (ka) = 0.024 W/(m K)
FIND
• Compare the rate of heat loss for a single 2 cm thick layer of wool to that of three 0.67 cm layers separated by 1.5 mm layers of air gaps.
ASSUMPTIONS
• Heat transfer can be approximated as one dimensional, steady state conduction
