Consider a 5-m-high, 8-m-long, and 0.22-m-thick wall whose representative cross section is as
given in the figure. The thermal conductivities of various materials used, in W/m · °C, are kA = kF
= 2, kB = 8 ,kC = 20, kD = 15, and kE = 35. The left and right surfaces of the wall are maintained Continue to post
at uniform temperatures of 300°C and 100°C, respectively. Assuming heat transfer through the
20 questions remaining
wall to be one-dimensional, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer through the wall; (b) the
temperature at the point where the sections B, D, and E meet; and (c) the temperature drop
across the section F. Disregard any contact resistances at the interfaces.
