Q3. Calculate the rate of heat flow through a composite wall of having three layers. The thicknesses of three layers are 0.5m, 1m and 0.2m respectively. Thermal conductivity of these layers are 2.5 W/mK, 2 W/mK and 2.2 W/mK respectively. The temperature T1 and T4 are maintained at 1000 K and 200 K respectively. Take surface area of heat transfer 1 m².



a. 1011.5 W/m²
b. 911.5 W/m²
c. 501.5 W/m²
d. 1211.5 W/m²
