Question
A Styrofoam box has a surface area of 0.80 m2 and a wall thickness of 2.0 cm. The temperature of the inner surface is 5.0C, and the outside temperature is 25C. If it takes 8.0 h for 5.0 kg of ice to melt in the container, determine the thermal conductivity of the Styrofoam.
Solution
The first step in solving 11 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A Styrofoam box has a surface area of 0.80 m2 and a wall thickness of 2.0 cm. The temperature of the inner surface is 5.0C, and the outside temperature is 25C. If it takes 8.0 h for 5.0 kg of ice to melt in the container, determine the thermal conductivity of the Styrofoam.
