Exercise 2:
Fig.l: Bricks wall insulated using two insulation layers
We consider a wall made of bricks insulated using two insulation layers. Only one dimensional conduction is considered (in the x -axis direction). The temperature of ambient air outside the wall is denoted T0. The wall exchanges heat with the outside by convection and the heat convection coefficient is denoted ho(at x=0). The boundary condition at x=etot is an imposed fixed temperature Ti.
Give the expression of the global thermal resistance in KW and explain each term. Calculate its value.
Give the expression of the global thermal resistance per unit of area in K.m2W and calculate its value.
Calculate the heat rate and the heat flux through the insulated wall.
Calculate the temperature T1 at the surface of the bricks wall (see fig. 1).
If only the insulation layer 1 is used to insulate the wall, what would be the thickness of this layer to obtain the same global thermal resistance as in question 1?
