Question
- A food cold storage room is to be constructed of an inner layer of 19.1 mm of pine wood, a middle layer of cork board, and an outer layer of 50.8 mm of concrete. The inside wall surface temperature is -17.8°C and the outside surface temperature is 29.4 °C at the outer concrete surface. The mean conductivities are for pine, 0.151; cork, 0.0433; and concrete, 0.762 W/m·K. The total inside surface area of the room to use in the calculation is approximately 39 m2 (neglecting corner and end effects). What thickness of cork board is needed to keep the heat loss to 586 W?

- A dormitory at a large university, built 50 years ago, has exterior walls constructed of Ls = 32-mm-thick sheathing with a thermal conductivity of ks = 0.2 W/m · K. To reduce heat losses in the winter, the university decides to encapsulate the entire dormitory by applying an Li = 35-mm-thick layer of extruded insulation characterized by ki = 0.021 W/m · K to the exterior of the original sheathing. The extruded insulation is, in turn, covered with an Lg = 5-mm-thick architectural glass with kg = 1.1 W/m · K. Determine the heat flux through the original and retrofitted walls when the interior and exterior air temperatures are T∞,i = 20°C and T∞,o = -5°C, respectively.

Assume the exterior wall is composed of 2- in. of material having a 'k' factor of 0.80, and 2-in. of insulation having a conductance of 0.16.

The walls are insulated on the outside with a layer of foam 60 mm thick. Cladding with a thickness of 15 mm protects the foam on the outside from the elements. The composite wall surface temperatures are –3 °C on the inside and 18 °C on the outside of the room respectively. The thermal conductivities of concrete, foam and cladding are 0.75, 0.35 and 0.5 W/m K respectively. Assuming perfect thermal contact between the layers of the composite walls, draw the typical temperature distribution across the layers and determine the heat energy gained per hour through all 4 walls of the room with a total surface area of 20 m2.
