A composite wasll is to be constructed of 1/4 inch stainless steel (k=10.5 but/hr-ft-degrees F), 3.0 inches of corkboard (k=0.027 same units), and 1/2 inch of plastic (k=1.4); What is the individual resistance of each material layer. Report in hr-degrees R/btu
The wall is used in the containment of a high temperature reactor in manufacturing facility. Determine the heat flux if the stainless steel surface is maintained at 250 degrees F and the plasic surface is maintained at 75 degrees F. What are the temperatures on each surface of the corkboard under these conditions?
