P2.6 A clear plastic window of a building has a thickness of 22 mm and a thermal conductivity of 0.17 Wm K. It absorbs solar radiation at a uniform rate of 20 kWm³ throughout the material. The outside and inside heat transfer coefficients are 25 Wm ²K¹ and 8 Wm ²K¹ respectively. The outside and inside ambient temperatures are 25°C and 15°C respectively. Calculate (i) the inside and outside wall surface temperatures, and (ii) the rate of heat flow into the room. [Answers: (i) 38.8°C, 35°C, (ii) 190.4 Wm ²]
