Problem

A masonry wall has an area of 12 m212\,\text{m}^2 and a thickness of 25 cm25\,\text{cm}. The thermal conductivity of the masonry is 0.72 W/(m⋅K)0.72\,\text{W}/(\text{m}\cdot\text{K}). What temperature difference between the two sides of the wall will result in a steady conduction rate of 1.0 kW1.0\,\text{kW} through the wall?
