What is the analogical reason between heat transfer by conduction and flow of electricity through ohmic resistance? Use a composite wall of a building to illustrate the concept. A composite slab with three layers of thermal conductivities k1, k2, k3 and thickness ti, t2, të respectively, are placed in a close contact. Derive an expression from the first principle for the heat flow through the composite slab per unit surface area in terms of the overall temperature difference across the slab.
An industrial cold room has four 200 mm thick walls made of concrete. The walls are insulated on the outside with a layer of foam 60 mm thick. Cladding with a thickness of 15 mm protects the foam on the outside from the elements. The composite wall surface temperatures are –3 °C on the inside and 18 °C on the outside of the room respectively. The thermal conductivities of concrete, foam and cladding are 0.75, 0.35 and 0.5 W/m K respectively.
Assuming perfect thermal contact between the layers of the composite walls, draw the typical temperature distribution across the layers and determine the heat energy gained per hour through all 4 walls of the room with a total surface area of 20 m2. What does this heat energy represent in terms of the refrigeration system of the cold room?
