A room is 7m by 5m by 3m and the walls are of brick 20cm thick and have windows of glass 0.05cm thick and of total area 5m2. The temperature of the room is 20°C higher than that outside. Calculate approximately the quantity of heat that is passing out per minute through the wall and the windows of the room. The thermal conductivity of brick and glass may be taken as 12×10-4 and 17×10-4 c.g.s. units respectively.
