An insulating wall is constructed with two layers of 250 mm thick Plywoodseparated from each other with a 16 mm thick foam. Thermal conductivity of the Plywoodand foam are 2.69 W/m.K and 0.034 W/m.K, respectively. For a temperature drop of 31.2 K, calculate the heat loss for the 5m x 4m wall. (neglect the effect of convective heat transfer between both sides of the wall.

An insulating wall is constructed with two layers of 250 mm thick Plywoodseparated from each other with a 16 mm thick foam. Thermal conductivity of the Plywoodand foam are 2.69 W/m.K and 0.034 W/m.K, respectively. For a temperature drop of 31.2 K, calculate the heat loss for the 5m x 4m wall. (neglect the effect of convective heat transfer between both sides of the wall.

P.S Could you write the solution clearly to better understanding? Step by step using formulas. Another page with detailed steps would be better. Thanks in advance.
