m in length, 4 m in height and 250 mm in thickness, if the wall surfaces are
maintained at 373 K (100o C) and 303 K (30o C) respectively.
10 Estimate the heat loss per m2 of the surface through a brick wall 0.5 m

this surface does not exceed 450 W/m2. The temperature difference across the
insulating layers is 400 K (127oC). Evaluate the thickness of insulation if (a) the
insulation is made of asbestos cement having thermal conductivity of 0.11
W/(m·K), and (b) the insulation is made of fire clay having thermal conductivity of
0.84 W/(m·K).
12 A wall is made of brick of thermal conductivity 1.0 W/(m·K), 230 mm thick. It is
lined on the inner face with plaster of thermal conductivity 0.4 W/(m·K) and of
thickness 10 mm. If a temperature difference of 30 K is maintained between the two
faces, what is the heat flow per unit area of wall ?
13 A cylindrical tube has inner diameter of 20 mm and outer diameter of 30 mm. Find
out the rate of heat flow from tube of length 5 m if inner surface is at 373 K (100o
C) and outer surface is at 308 K (35o C). Take the thermal conductivity of tube
material as 0.291 W/(m·K).

brick, of conductivity 1.38 W/(m·K). The temperature of inner face of wall is 1033
K (760 °C) and that of the outer face is 349 K (76 °C).

(b) Supposing that the contact between two brick layers is poor and that a 'contact
resistance' of 0.09 K/W is present what would be the heat loss ?
15 A pipe 65 mm outside diameter is lagged with a 50 mm layer of asbestos

the temperature of the outer surface of the pipe is 423 K (150 °C) and the
temperature of the outer surface of the cork is 308 K (35 °C), calculate the heat loss
