question

A thick brick wall has a surface which experiences a daily temperature variation from 50°F to 130°F. The properties of the brick are: k = 0.4 Btu/hr. ft.^2(°F/ft) C_p = 0.3 Btu/lb. °F \rho = 120 lb/ft^3 \alpha = (k / c\rho) = 0.01111 ft^2/hr Assume the variation to be cosine in nature, and the cement between the bricks has the same properties as of the bricks. Find (a) the temperature lag at a point 4 in. below the surface; (b) the amplitude at this depth; (c) the temperature deviation from the mean after 3 hours; (d) the heat flow during the half period.
