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.Latios1314 said:
Heat transfer is the process of transferring thermal energy from one object or medium to another. This can occur through conduction, convection, or radiation.
A vertical plane wall is a flat surface that is oriented vertically, meaning it is standing upright and perpendicular to the ground.
Heat transfer in a vertical plane wall can occur through conduction, where heat is transferred through direct contact between the wall and another object, or through radiation, where heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves.
The thickness and material of the wall, as well as the temperature difference between the two sides of the wall, can affect the rate of heat transfer in a vertical plane wall.
The rate of heat transfer through a vertical plane wall can be calculated using the Fourier's Law equation: Q = (kAΔT)/L, where Q is the rate of heat transfer, k is the thermal conductivity of the material, A is the surface area of the wall, ΔT is the temperature difference, and L is the thickness of the wall.
