Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer – Problem 1.1

The thermal conductivity of a sheet of rigid, extruded insulation is reported to be k = 0.029 W/m·K, the measured temperature difference across a 20mm-thick sheet of the material is T1-T2 =10°C.

(a) What is the heat flux through a 2m x 2m sheet of insulation?

(b) What is the rate of heat transfer through the sheet of insulation?

All sample problems and notes are based on the following textbook: Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer Seventh Edition
