    The document provides a solved problem calculating the thermal resistance of a composite wall. The wall consists of hardwood siding, hardwood studs, glass fiber insulation, and gypsum wallboard. Thermal resistances are calculated for each material in series and parallel. The total thermal resistance is calculated to be 0.18537 K/W.

    CHEMICAL ENGINEERING SERIES: HEAT TRANSFER

    SOLVED PROBLEMS

    Consider a composite wall that includes an 8-mm thick hardwood siding (k= 0.094 W/mK), 40-
    mm by 130-mm hardwood studs (k= 0.16 W/mK) on 0.65-m centers with glass fiber
    insulations (paper-faced, 28 kg/m3) (k= 0.038 W/mK), and a 12-mm layer of gypsum
    (vermiculite) (k= 0.17 W/mK) wall board. What is the thermal resistance associated with a
    wall that is 2.5 m high by 6.5 m wide (having 10 studs, each 2.5 m high)?
