The concrete slab of a basement is 11 m long and 8 m wide, and 0.20 m thick. During the winter, temperatures are
nominally 17°C and 10°C at the top and bottom surfaces, respectively. If the concrete has a thermal conductivity of 1.4
W/mK, what is the rate of heat loss through the slab? If the basement is heated by a gas furnace operation at an
efficiency of 90%, and natural gas is priced at $0.02. MJ, what is the daily cost of the heat loss.
Answer: QLOSS = 4.312 kW, COST = $8.28/day
During the winter, the inside of an average house is maintained at 20 °C, while the outside temperature is 0 °C. Assuming that the only mechanism of heat transfer is conduction, the walls are 10 cm thick and the heatconductivity of the walls is 0.5 W/(Km). a) Calculate the heat flux from the room to the surroundings in W/m2. b) To reduce the heat loss through the walls, the material should be changed to an insulator material. Thenew overall conductivity will be 0.1 W/(Km); the thickness of the walls is maintained. Calculate the reductionof the heat flux through the walls compared to the initial case.
