Problem Statement:
Determine which of the following 3 material substrates would have the
best R-value or lowest thermal conductivity. The purpose is to determine
which of the 3 materials would make the best insulator to heat and cold?
The following is given:
Solid wood (pine)
Wood w/ hollow-core air space
Wood with hollow-core space filled with rock
wool
Assuming that the outside air temperature was 100 degrees F determine
which of the 3 substrates above provides the best/greatest insulation
value or resistance to temperature transmission. Explain why and show
calculations knowing that:
C = 1/R where C = thermal conductance; and
C = k/thickness (inches) where k = thermal conductivity
(Btu-in/ft2-hr-oF)
