Question: An experimental test chamber, inside dimensions 2 0 m x 1 0 m x 3 m high is to be maintained at 3 0 0

An experimental test chamber, inside dimensions 20 m x 10 m x 3 m high is to be maintained at 300C. The walls and roof consist of brick 120 mm thick insulated with glass wool 80 mm thick protected on the outside by timber 40 mm thick. The surrounding atmospheric temperature is 20oC.Determine the power necessary to keep the chamber at a constant temperature through the wall only, using the following data:
thermal conductivity of brick 1.4 W/(m K)
thermal conductivity of glass wool 0.043 W/(m K)
thermal conductivity of timber 0.11 W/(m K)
heat transfer coefficient for outer vertical surfaces 1.62 W/(m2 K)
heat transfer coefficient for outer roof surface 3.35 W/(m2 K)
