A cold storage room has walls made of 0.23 m of brick on the outside, 0.08 m of Plastic foam, and finally 1.5 cm of wood on the inside. The outside and inside air temperatures are 22°C and -2°C respectively. If the inside and outside heat transfer coefficients are 28 and 12 Wim’K, and the thermal conductivities of brick, foam and wood are 0.98, 0.02, and 0.17 WimK respectively, determine, (() the rate of heat removed by refrigeration ifthe total wall area is 80 m?, and (ji) the temperature of the inside surface of the brick -eeTHE END“
