Question: A wall that is 2 . 3 0 m high and 3 . 6 6 m long has a thickness composed of 1 . 0

A wall that is 2.30 m high and 3.66 m long has a thickness composed of 1.00 cm of wood plus 3.00 cm of insulation (with the thermal conductivity approximately of wool). The inside of the wall is 23.0C and the outside of the wall is at 5.00C. The thermal conductivity of wood is 0.130 W/(mK) and that of wool is 0.0380 W/(mK).
1) What is the rate of heat flow through the wall? Use unit W.
2) If half the area of the wall is replaced with a single pane of glass that is 0.500 cm thick, What is the rate of heat flow through the wall now? The thermal conductivity of glass is 0.630 W/(mK). Use unit kW.
