Heat and Mass Transfer

Subtopic: Steady state heat transfer in conduction, convection and radiation

Question Statement:

A cold storage wall consists of a $100\text{ mm}$ ($0.10\text{ m}$) thick layer of expanded polyurethane foam insulation ($k = 0.025\text{ W/(m}\cdot\text{K)}$). Calculate the conductive thermal resistance of the insulation layer per unit wall area in $\text{m}^2\cdot\text{K/W}$.

Answer Key:

4

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Thermal resistance per unit area: $R'' = \frac{L}{k} = \frac{0.10\text{ m}}{0.025\text{ W/(m}\cdot\text{K)}} = 4.0\text{ m}^2\cdot\text{K/W}$
