A brick wall $$\,\left( {k = 0.9{W \over {m.K}}} \right)$$ of thickness $$0.18$$ $$m$$ separates the warm air in a room from the cold ambient air. On a particular winter day, the outside air temperature is −$${5^ \circ }C.\,$$ and the room needs to be maintained at $${27^ \circ }C.\,$$ The heat transfer coefficient associated with outside air is $$20\,\,W/{m^2}K.$$
Neglecting the convective resistance of the air inside the room, the heat loss, in $$\left( {{W \over {{m^2}}}} \right)$$ is
