A carpenter builds an exterior house wall with a layer of wood 3.2 {\rm cm} thick on the outside and a layer of Styrofoam insulation 2.4 cm thick on the inside wall surface. The wood has k=0.080 W/(m* K, and the Styrofoam has k= 0.010 W/ m* K)}. The interior surface temperature is 20.0C, and the exterior surface temperature is -12.0C.
What is the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the Styrofoam?
so i set up
H=Ak(Tf-T0)/L
H=Ak(Tf-T0)/L
set them both equal so the A drops out
.08(x-20)/.o32=.01(x+12)/.024
and get 26.4 which is wrong, so where am i going wrong at?
