Question:

A room at 20°C air temperature is loosing heat to the outdoor air at 0°C at a rate of 1000 W through a 2.5-m-high and 4-m-long wall. Now the wall is insulated with 2-cm thick insulation with a conductivity of 0.02 W/m · K. Determine the rate of heat loss from the room through this wall after insulation. Assume the heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer surface of the wall, the room air temperature, and the outdoor air temperature to remain unchanged. Also, disregard radiation.
(a) 20 W

(b) 561 W

(c) 388 W

(d) 167 W

(e) 200 W
