2) For a wall that has a thermal conductivity of 4.80 BTU/ft. hr. F°, the surface area is
equal to 3 m^2. The temperature difference is equal to 26F°.The thickness of the wall is
400 mm. Determine the following:
a. The total heat loss in 7 hours in BTU
b. Assume that all the conditions were retained except that the area was reduced to 2 m^2,
what is the percentage reduction in the rate of heat transfer through the wall.
c. Explain the concepts/principles that were considered and the factors that affected the
condition of the above mentioned items (a & b).
