A domestic refrigerator with inner dimensions of 0,7 m by 0,7 m at the base and height 1m was designed to maintain a set temperature of 6 degrees Celsius. The bodies consist of two 10 mm thick layers of Aluminum (k=225 W/mK) separated by a 30 mm polyurethane insulation (k=0,028 W/mK). If the convection heat transfer coefficient at the inner and outer surfaces are 11,6 W/m²K and 14,5 W/m²K respectively, calculate the outer surface temperature of Aluminum in degrees Celsius to 2 decimal places. 2)calculate the resistance (R) for the insulation layer in K/W to 4 decimal places. 3)calculate the steady rate of heat transfer from the interior to maintain the specified temperature in the kitchen at 25 degrees Celsius in W to 2 decimal places. 4)calculate the total resistance (R) for the refrigerator in K/W to 4 decimal place
