Lecture #5- Homework (due by 1/31/2024 before class)
A compound wall consisting of wood (thermal conductivity =0.3222Btum-1hr-1R-1) that is 2-inches thick (each layer) and has an air gap of 6-inches (thermal conductivity =0.02Wm-1K-1) is used to maintain the interior house wall temperature at 65F at night as heat radiates outwards. The compound wall is laid out as wood:air-gap:wood. Given that the night air on a cold day (no wind) is 9F, assume the house emissivity is 0.9 and steady-state heat transfer:
a) Indicate the unit conversions required to base SI units
b) What are the temperatures throughout the wall at each junction F
c) How much heat transfer is there per unit wall surface area Wm2
d) Over 8 hours, how much total energy exits the house with a surface area of 2000ft2 in [J]?
You must show all calculations, unit conversions, etc. to receive full points. Simply putting down the answer is not sufficient; we need to see your work. Use the Engineering Solution Sheet.
