(a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through house walls that are 13.0 cm thick and that have an average thermal conductivi

ty twice that of glass wool. Assume there are no windows or doors. The surface area of the walls is 120 m2 and their inside surface is at 18.0 oC, while their outside surface is at 5.0 oC. (b) How many 1-kW room heaters would be needed to balance the heat transfer due to conduction

Answer:

a. 960 W b. One 1 kW room heater

Explanation:

a. The rate of heat conduction P = kA(T₂ - T₁)/d where k = 2 × 0.040 W/m-K =  0.080 W/m-K since the thermal conductivity of glass wool is 0.040 W/m-K and that of the material is twice the thermal conductivity of glass wool, A = area of walls = 120 m², T₁ = outside surface temperature = 5.0 °C, T₂ = inside surface temperature = 18.0 °C and d = thickness of wall = 13.0 cm = 0.13 m

P = kA(T₂ - T₁)/d

= 0.080 W/m-K × 120 m²(18.0 °C - 5.0 °C)/0.13 m

= 9.6 Wm/K × 13 K/0.13 m

= 124.8 Wm/0.13 m

= 960 W

b. The number of 1 kW room heater required will be

n = rate of heat conduction/power of one room heater = 960 W/ 1 kW = 960 W/1000 W = 0.96 ≅ 1

So we need only one 1 kW room heater.

3x/y=6g/b solve for x
lora16 [44]
So looking at the problem, you are going to want to start by finding a common denominator (1) in this case: yb, and combining like terms (2). You are then going to want to multiply both sides by (yb) as the reciprocal to the fractions (3).
1)  3x    6g
     ---- = ---
     y       b

2)  3xb    6gy
     ------ = -----   
     yb       yb

3)       3xb    6gy
  (yb) ------ = -----  
          yb       yb
which becomes: 3xb = 6gy

So after this, things become much more simple, as all you have to do is isolate the (x), which can be done by dividing the entire equation by (3b).

3xb   6gy
----- = -----
3b      3b

where you will then find your answer of:
      2gy
x = -----       (simplified by the GCM of 3)
       b
