The north wall of an electrically heated home is 20 ft long


The north wall of an electrically heated home is 20 ft long, 10 ft high, and 1 ft thick, and is made of brick whose thermal conductivity is k = 0.42 Btu/h · ft · °F. On a certain winter night, the temperatures of the inner and the outer surfaces of the wall are measured to be at about 62°F and 25°F, respectively, for a period of 8 h. Determine

(a) the rate of heat loss through the wall that night and

(b) the cost of that heat loss to the home owner if the cost of electricity is $0.07/kWh.
