An electric heater is placed inside a room of total wall area `137 m^2` to maintain the temperature inside at `20^@C`. The outside temperature is `-10^@C`. The walls are made of three composite materials. The inner most layer is made of wood of thickness 2.5 cm the middle layer is of cement of thickness 1 cm and the exterior layer is of brick of thickness 2.5 cm. Find the power of electric heater assuming that there is no heat losses through the floor and ceiling. The thermal conductivities of wood, cement and brick are `0.125 W//m.^@C, 1.5W//m.^@C and 1.0 W//m.^@C` respectively.

An electric heater is used in a room of total wall area 137m^(2) to maintain a temperature of 20^(@)C inside it, when the outside temperature is -10^(@)C .The walls have three different layers of materials. The innermost layer is of wood of thickness 2.5cm, the middle layer is of cement of thickness 1.0cm and the outermost layer is of brick of thickness 25.0cm. Find the power of the electric heater. Assume that there is no heat loss through the floor and the celling. The thermal conductivities of wood, cement and brick are 0.125Wm^(-1)C^(-1) , 1.5Wm^(-1)C^(-1) . and 1.0Wm^(-1)C^(-1) respectively.
