Question: A 4 - m - high and 6 - m - wide wall consists of a long 1 8 - cm X 3 0 -

A 4-m-high and 6-m-wide wall consists of a long 18-cm X 30-cm cross section of horizontalbricks (k =0.72 W /m C) separated by 3-cm-thick plaster layers (k =0.22 W /m C). There are also 2-cm-thick plaster layers on each side of the wall, and a 2-cm-thick rigid foam (k =0.026 W/m C) on the inner side of the wall. The indoor and the outdoor temperatures are 22\deg C and -4\deg C, and the convection heat transfer coefficients on the inner and the outer sides are h1=10 W/(m2\deg C) and h2=20 W/(m2\deg C), respectively. Assuming one-dimensional heat transfer and disregarding radiation, determine the rate of heat transfer through the wall
