A flat wall is exposed to an environmental temperature of 38°C. The wall is covered with a layer of insulation 2.5cm thick whose thermal conductivity is 1.8W/(m K), and the temperature of the wall on the inside of the insulation is 320°C. The wall loses heat to the environment by convection. Compute the value of the convection heat-transfer coeffi cient that must be maintained on the outer surface of the insulation to ensure that the outer surface temperature does not exceed 40°C.
