Solve the following problem:

1. Calculate the value of U for wall constructed of 8 in cinder aggregate building blocks
whose thermal conductance is 0.58 Btu/hr-ft2-°F, insulated with 4 in of polyurethane
board whose thermal conductivity is 0.18 Btu-in/hr-ft2-°F, and finished on the inside
with 0.5 in of cement plaster whose thermal conductivity is 5.0 Btu-in/hr-ft2-°F.
Assuming outside and inside convection coefficient of 4.1 and 1.65 Btu/hr-ft2-°F
respectively.
2. A cooler wall 10 ft by 18 ft is insulated with the equivalent extruded polystyrene.
Compute the heat gain through the wall in Btu per 24 hr if the inside temperature is
37°F and the outside temperature is 78°F. Use the Table 10-1 for the value of k of the
insulating material.
3. Five thousand pounds of choice lean beef enter a chilling cooler at 100°F and are
chilled to 38°F in 24 hr. Compute the chilling load in Btu per 24 hr. Use Table 10-2.
