A wall consists of 3 cm of exterior wood and 2 cm of interior wood separated by a 15 cm layer of polystyrene foam. If the interior is kept at 19 °C, calculate the outside temperature for which the heat loss through the wall is 10 W/m2.
Solutions
Expert Solution
NOTE - The thermal conductivity for wood and polystyrene is not given, so average values for the same have been taken from internet. The following solution is based on these values. However, if the question has a different set of values for these then you simply need to plug them in the following solution (in place of kw for wood and kp for polystyrene) to get the answer.

An insulated wall consists of an exterior wood layer of
thickness 3.1 cm and an interior layer of foam insulation of
thickness 2.3 cm . For the wood, k=0.080W/(m⋅K), and for the foam
insulation k= 0.010 W/(m⋅K). The outer surface of the wood is at a
constant -15.0 ∘C , and the inner surface of the foam insulation is
at a constant 19.0 ∘C .
Calculate the temperature in Celsius where the wood and foam
insulation are in contact. T=???...

A wall is constructed of two layers of 2-cm-thick sheetrock (k =
0.17 W/m·K) separated by 16 cm by wood studs (k = 0.11 W/m·K) whose
width is 5 cm. The studs are placed vertically 55 cm apart, and the
space between them is filled with stagnant air (16 by 55 cm) as
insulation (k = 0.026 W/m·K). Pay attention to the
measurements!
