A wall with a brick and concrete layer is shown in the figure. The wall has a length of 15 m and 6 m high. The brick (k = 1.3 W/m-K) has a thickness of 75 mm and the concrete (k = 2 W/m-K) is 150 mm thick. Determine the total heat resistance, the heat transfer rate through the wall, and the temperature of its inner surface for a day during which the room is maintained at 20°C while the temperature of the outdoors is 32°C. Take the convection heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer surfaces of the wall to be 12 W/m2-K and 18 W/m2-K, respectively, which includes the effects of radiation. Round off your final answer to three (3) decimal places.
