A dormitory at a large university, built 50 years ago, has exterior walls constructed of L, = 25-mm-thick sheathing with a thermal
conductivity of k, = 0.1 W/m-K. To reduce heat losses in the winter, the university decides to encapsulate the entire dormitory by
applying an L; = 25-mm-thick layer of extruded insulation characterized by k; = 0.029 W/m-K to the exterior of the original
sheathing. The extruded insulation is, in turn, covered with an Lg = 5-mm-thick architectural glass with kg = 1.4 W/m-K. Determine
the heat flux through the original and retrofitted walls when the interior and exterior air temperatures are T = 22°C and To =
O°C, respectively. The inner and outer convection heat transfer coefficients are h; = 5 W/m?-Kand h,
00,
25 W/m2-K, respectively.
The heat flux through the original walls is 1.46
W/m?.
The heat flux through the retrofitted walls is
0.92
W/m?.

Heat losses through windows in buildings are substantial. What would be the percentage reduction in heat loss that would be mitigated by replacing a window containing a single pane of glass with (a) double-pane low-E insulating glass or (b) a 3-inch-thick sheet of expanded polystyrene sheet? The quoted R values for these items are: • single pane of glass: 0.90 ft 2 hr ° F/Btu, • double pane of low-E insulating glass: 2.3 ft 2 hr ° F/Btu, • 1-inch-thick sheet of polystyrene sheet: 4.0 ft 2 hr ° F/Btu.
In the figure below, it is known that the thermal conductivity of k1 = 0.06 W/mK, k3 = 0.04 W/mK, and k4 = 0.12 W/mK. The thickness of the layers is L1 = 1.50 cm, L3 = 2.8 cm, and L4 = 3.50 cm. Known temperatures T1 = 30°C, T12 = 25°C, and T4 = -10°C. Energy transfer through walls is constant. How much is T34?
