The interior of a refrigeration has inside dimensions 60 cm × 45 cm base area and 120 cm high. The composite wall is made of two 3 mm mild steel sheets (k = 145 kJ/mhr-deg) with 6cm of glass wool (k = 0.188 kJ/m-hr-deg) insulation sandwiched between them. The average values of convective heat transfer coefficients at the interior and exterior wall are 40.8 and 52.3 kJ/m2-hr-deg respectively.
