ques. (2)
A store house 10m x 10m x 5m has the roof and the floor made of such material that the heat transfer through these is negligible. Its 4 wall are made of concrete { } of thickness 150 mm. The wall is insulated from outside as well as inside. The outside insulation is a plaster { } of thickness 30 mm whereas the inner side insulation is a fiber glass board { }of thickness five mm. The outside temperature is 350C and the inside temperature is 50C. The outside and inside heat transfer coefficients are and .
• Find the total thermal resistance of the walls.
• Find the rate of heat transfer to the store room.
• Find the interface temperatures at all layers of a wall.
• An air conditioner is used to maintain the inside temperature as 50C, and the C.O.P of the air conditioner is 4.5, obtain the power consumed.
ques. #1

A house has a composite wall of wood, fiberglass insulation, and plaster board, as indicated in Fig. 1. On a cold winter day the convection heat transfer coefficients are ho = 60 W/m oC, and hi = 30 W/m2 oC. The total wall surface area is 350 m2. The thermal conductivities of the wall are kP = 0.22 W/m oC, kb = 0.038 W/m oC, and ks = 0.12 W/ m oC as shown in the figure(1). Assuming heat transfer through the wall to be 1 dimensional and steady and neglect the radiation heat transfer, determine:
i- the total thermal resistance of the wall, including inside and outside convection effects for the prescribed conditions.
ii- the rate of heat transfer through the wall
iii- the temperature at the interface ranging from the plaster board and the glass fiber blanket and also ranging from the glass fiber blanket and the plywood siding (assume perfect contact),
iv- draw the electrical analogy circuit of the wall,
v- draw the temperature profile through the wall.
