Question: 1 - 1 0 7 The inner and outer surfaces of a 2 5 - cm - thick wall in summer are at 2 7

1-107 The inner and outer surfaces of a 25-cm-thick wall in summer are at 27C and 44C, respectively. The outer surface of the wall exchanges heat by radiation with surrounding surfaces at 40C and by convection with ambient air also at 40C with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 8Wm2*K. Solar radiation is
incident on the surface at a rate of 150Wm2. If both the emissivity and the solar absorptivity of the outer surface are 0.8, determine the effective thermal conductivity of the wall.
