Question: You are tasked to design a room ( height: 2 . 7 m; length: 4 m ) that should maintain a room temperature of 2

You are tasked to design a room (height: 2.7m; length: 4m) that should maintain a room temperature of 20\deg C even during summer where outside temperature is 34C. The room is to be constructed using 4 inches thick CHB (k =1.1 W/m-K). The CHB will have a plaster onboth sides (k =1.5 W/m-K), each 1 cm thick.Assuming outside and inside convective heat transfer coefficient of 10 W/m\deg -K and 50W/m -K,respectively,determinethefollowing:a. the amount of heat transfer in Wb. the temperature of the CHB (at the inner side) in Cc. if 1 layer of polyurethane foam (k =0.03W/m-K) will be added for insulation, in which side should we put it?d. how thick it should be to reduce the heat transfer by 20%?c. how thick it should be to reduce the heat transfer by 50%?f. how thick it should be to reduce the heat transfer by 99%?
