Explanation Given information: The resistance values of different materials are tabulated in Table 3-8 . Formula used: Theexpression for total average thermal resistance for the entire wall is expressed as follows: R o v e r a l l = 1 U o v e r a l l w h e r e U o v e r a l l = ( U f a r e a ) i n s u l a t i o n s + ( U f a r e a ) s t u d R o v e r a l l = thermal resistance U o v e r a l l = heat transfer coefficient f a r e a = area fraction ε e f f e c t i v e = 1 1 ε 1 + 1 ε 2 − 1 ε 1 = effective emissivity of surface 1 ε 2 = effective emissivityof surface 2 ε c o l l e c t i v e = effective emissivity of surface combination Calculation: The total thermal resistance of the walls is calculated as follows: R o v e r a l l = 1 U o v e r a l l w
