The concrete roof of a house of thickness 20 cm has an area of 200 m². The temperature inside the house is 15°C and outside is 35°C. Find the rate at which thermal energy will be conducted through the roof. The value of k for concrete is 0.65 Wm⁻¹K⁻¹. Ans. (13000 Js⁻¹)
Given:
Thickness of the concrete roof = L = 20 cm = 0.2 mArea of the roof = A = 200 m²
Mass of ice = m = 100 g = 0.1 kg
Temperature outside of home = T₁ = 35°C = (35 + 273) K = 308 K
Temperature inside of home = T₂ = 15°C = (15 + 273) K = 288 K
Coefficient of Thermal Conductivity of Concrete = k = 0.65 W m⁻¹K⁻¹To Find:
Rate of flow of Heat through concrete = QtQt = ?
Solution:
We know that
Rate of flow of heat = QtQt = kA(T₁-T₂)L
by putting values
Qt = 0.65Wm⁻¹K⁻¹x200m²(308K-288K)0.2m
Qt = 130WmK⁻¹(20K)0.2m
Qt = 2,600Wm0.2m
Qt = 1,300 W
As (1 watts = 1 J s⁻¹ ) so,
Qt = 1,300 J s⁻¹
Thus the rate of conduction of energy (heat) through the roof is 1,300 J s⁻¹
