Find the thermal resistance r (in hr - °F/BTU) and the equivalent R-value (in hr ft?. °F/BTU) of a typical frame 20' x 7.5" wall consisting of a 0.5" plaster board on the inside of the room, nominai 2 x 4 studs, and a 0.5" sheathing on the outside. The spaces between the studs are filled with an R-15 insulating foam. What is the heat loss (in BTU) through this wall in four hours if the inside temperature is 72°F and the outside temperature is 32°F? (Assume that the 15% of the wall's area are studs and the remaining 85% is filled with the insulating foam. Assume that the air is moving outside the wall.) r= 0.0805 x hr: OF/BTU R=0.09 x hr ft2. F/BTU AQ = BTU

Q2/ An insulated steam pipe having an outside Steam pipe diameter of 30 mm is to be covered with two Better ination (4) Paer ination () layers of insulation, each haying thickness of 20 mm. The thermal conductivity of one material is 5 times that of the other. Sm L 1. Assuming that the inner and outer surface temperatures of composite insulation are fixed, how much will heat transfer be increased when better insulation material is next to the pipe than it is the outer layer?

Q2: A: The exterior wall of a single-story office building near Chicago is 3 m high and 15 m long. The wall consists of 100-mm face brick, 40-mm polystyrene insulating board. 150-mm lightweight concrete block, and an interior 16-mm gypsum. The wall contains three single-glass of 3 mm thickness windows 1.5 m high by 2 m long. Calculate the heat loss through the wall at design conditions if the inside temperature is (20 °C). The outside temperature is (-18 "C).
A one-story house is built over a vented crawl space. The attic is alsovented. The heating system is designed for a temperature difference of 75°F.The exterior wall of a middle bedroom is shown. The room is 10 feet 3 incheswide. The window has double pane glass. The wall is wood frame withsheathing and siding. It has 1 inch of polystyrene insulation over 31⁄2 inchesof insulation (total R-16). The ceiling has 91⁄2 inches of insulation (R-30),and the floor has 6 inches of insulation (R-19). Find the heat load for thisroom.
Some help please (How do I go about this? TIA)...Determine the rate of heat loss per square foot through thr wall of your home if the home is heated to 70F when the outside temperature of -10F. Assume the fiberglass insulation has the same properties as silica glass fiber.
2. A glass window has an area of 5.5 ft² and a thickness of 5 mm. If one side is at a temperature of 45° F and the other is at 23 F, how much thermal energy (BTU/year) flows through the window in one year? The thermal conductivity of glass is 1.89x10-4 kcal/m-s-K.
The cooling load for a house is determined in part by using the same formulaused to find the heat load. The temperature difference used in designing acooling system is 25°F. The corner room shown does not face the sun so noadditional cooling load is required. The windows are single pane, and thewalls are brick veneer with 31⁄2 inches of insulation (R-11). The ceiling has31⁄2 inches of insulation (R-11), and the floor has no insulation. The room isbuilt over a vented crawl space with a vented attic above it. Find the coolingload for this room.
On a winters day the outside temperature of a 15 inch thick concrete wall is -25F, the wall is 16 ft long and 10 ft high. How manu BTU are required to keep the inside of the wall at 75F? Assume walls thermal conductivity is 0.8BTU/h ft F. Show detailed solutions
A plane wall is 2m high and 3m wide and is 20cm thick. It is made of a material that has a thermal conductivity of 0.50W/m-K. A temperature difference of 60 degrees Celsius is imposed on the two large faces. Find the heat flux.
3.6 Heat losses through windows in buildings are substantial. What would be the percentage reduction in heat loss that would be mitigated by replacing a window containing a single pane of glass with (a) double-pane low-E insulating glass or (b) a 3-inch-thick sheet of expanded polystyrene sheet? The quoted R values for these items are: • single pane of glass: 0.90 ft 2 hr ° F/Btu, • double pane of low-E insulating glass: 2.3 ft 2 hr ° F/Btu, • 1-inch-thick sheet of polystyrene sheet: 4.0 ft 2 hr ° F/Btu.
