A wall is constructed of two layers of 1 cm thick plaster board (k = 0.17 W/m.K) placed 12 cm apart. The space between these two is filled with fibre glass insulation (k = 0.035 W/m.K). Determine (a) thermal resistance of the wall (b) R value of insulation (c) heat transfer rate for temperature difference of 150°C.
