    The roof of a home is 6m by 8m by 0.25m thick made of concrete with a conductivity of 0.8 W/m-K. The inner surface was 15°C and outer was 4°C for 10 hours. To determine: (a) the rate of heat loss through the roof that night which can be calculated using the thickness, conductivity, temperature difference and area and (b) the cost of the heat loss if electricity costs INR 5/kWh which requires converting the heat loss to kWh and multiplying by the cost.

    P1
    The roof of an electrically heated home is 6 m long, 8 m wide, and 0.25 m
    thick, and is made of a flat layer of concrete whose thermal conductivity is
    k = 0.8 W/m·K. The temperatures of the inner and the outer surfaces of the
    roof one night are measured to be 15°C and 4°C, respectively, for a period
    of 10 hours. Determine (a) the rate of heat loss through the roof that night
    and (b) the cost of that heat loss to the home owner if the cost of electricity
    is INR 5/kWh.
