Question
The figure shows the cross section of a wall made of three layers. The thicknesses of the layers are L₁, L2=0.750 L₁, and L3 = 0.350 L₁.
The thermal conductivities are k₁, k₂ = 0.840 k₁, and k3 = 0.780 k₁. The temperatures at the left and right sides of the wall are TH = 23 °C
and Tc = -10 °C, respectively. Thermal conduction is steady.
(a) What is the temperature difference AT2 across layer 2 (between the left and right sides of the layer)?
If k2 were, instead, equal to 1.160 k₁,
(b) would the rate at which energy is conducted through the wall be greater than, less than, or the same as previously,
and
(c) what would be the value of AT2?
