Back to 14.5 Conduction

14.5 Exercise 16

Avg difficulty 2.5

Compare the rate of heat conduction through a 13.0-cm-thick wall that has an area of 10.0 m2\text{10} . 0 \textrm{ }\text{m}^{2} and a thermal conductivity twice that of glass wool with the rate of heat conduction through a window that is 0.750 cm thick and that has an area of 2.00 m22 . \text{00} \textrm{ }\text{m}^{2}, assuming the same temperature difference across each.
