Q1) A 6 m wide 2.8 m high wall is constructed of one layer of common brick (k =
0. 72 W/m. °C) of thickness 20 cm, one inside layer of light-weight plaster (k =
0.36 W/m. °C) of thickness 1 cm, and one outside layer of cement based covering (k =
1.4 W/m. K) of thickness 2 cm. The inner surface of the wall is maintained at 23 °C while the
outer surface is exposed to outdoors at 8 °C with a combined convection and radiation heat
transfer coefficient of 17 W/m2.°C. It is desired to insulate the wall in order to decrease the
heat loss by 75 %. For the same inner surface temperature, determine the thickness of
insulation and the outer surface temperature if the wall is insulated with polyurethane foam
(k = 0.025 W/m.°C). Use thermal resistance network.
On a winters day the outside temperature of a 15 inch thick concrete wall is -25F, the wall is 16 ft long and 10 ft high. How manu BTU are required to keep the inside of the wall at 75F? Assume walls thermal conductivity is 0.8BTU/h ft F.

1) A wall section composed from the outside to inside, of concrete brick 100mm thick, an air space of
50mm, two layers of fiberglass insulation 38mm thick, concrete block 150mm thick and air space of
19mm and a gypsum board of 13mm. The exterior conditions are -20C and RH=90% while the interior
conditions are 23C and RH=40%. The surface temperature from the outside to inside are shown in the
figure. The permeances are:
Still Air: µ = 175 ng/pa.s.m
Fiber glass: M=2560 ng/pa.s.m?
Concrete block: M= 200 ng/pa.s.m?
Gypsum board: M= 2000 ng/pa.s.m?
Concrete brick: µ = 4.55 ng/pa.s.m
Determine if there is a risk of condensation, and if there is, what is the condensation rate?
What would happen if a vapor barrier (M=0.2 ng/pa.s.m²) was installed on the warm side of the
insulation (Surface 4).
