Question: Construct a program in C to solve the rate of heat transfer equation. Equation is on first picture with its variables and names. Instructions on
Description: such as from the inside of a house to the outside. The rate of heat transfer is given by the following formula: . h=a( 2-1 ) h=a ( th/k where: h is the heat transfer rate (Btu/hr) a is the surface area (ft') th is the thickness (ft) k is the thermal conductivity constant for the wall (dependent on how readily the wall material will conduct heat) t1 and t2 are the temperatures (o F) on either side of the wal. The term th/k happens to be the "R value" of the material, which can be seen printed on packages of insulation. The following table provides some examples of typical building materials, sample thickness values, and k constant values. (Note that the sample thickness values in the table are in inches, and k is using feet). Material | k(BTU/ (hr*ft,F)) Hardwood siding Concrete block Styrofoamm Fiberglass batting Drywall Thickness (in) 1.0 6.0 1.0 6.0 0.5 0.092 0.260 0.017 0.027 0.093
