Heat Transfer (Vetical Plane wall)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a heat transfer problem involving a vertical plane wall. The initial poster suggests that natural convection may be essential for the solution but expresses uncertainty about how to approach it. Another participant interprets the problem as primarily involving conduction through the wall and insulation, with radiative transfer occurring on the outside and no internal resistance. This highlights the differing perspectives on the mechanisms at play in the heat transfer scenario. Clarifying these concepts is crucial for effectively tackling the problem.

Hi Guys, can I get some advice on how do I get started on the question?

I'm guessing that natural convection is the key to solving the question. but i have no idea on how to solve it.

My interpretation of the intent of this problem is to use pure conduction through the wall and insulation, and only radiative transfer on the outside, with no resistance on the inside.
