Concrete sidewalks are always laid in sections, with gaps between each section. For example, the drawing showsthree identical 2.4-m sections, the outer two of which are against immovable walls. The two identical gapsbetween the sections are provided so that thermal expansion will not create the thermal stress that could lead tocracks. Calculate the minimum gap width necessary to account for an increase in temperature of 32 C°.2.4 mCap12 C ClearHUAWEI P30 liteTRIPLE CAMERA

The walls of a house consists of L=0.02 m thick plywood backed byinsulation with the same thickness. The temperature of the inside surface of the wall (the insulation side) is T2=25 oC, while the temperature at the outside surface (the plywood side) is T1= -15 oC, both being constant. The thermal conductivities of the plywood and insulation are, respectively k1=0.09 J/(s m oC) and k2=0.03 J/(s m oC).a) Find the temperature T at the plywood – insulation interface. b) If the total surface area of the walls is 70 m2, find the amount of heat the house looses in 24 hours.
