A 10-in.-thick, 30-ft-long, and 10-ft-high wall is to be constructed using 9-in.-long solid bricks ( k = 0.40 Btu / h \cdot ft \cdot{ }^{\circ} F) of cross section 7 \text { in. } \times 7 \text { in. }, or identical size bricks with nine square air holes (k = 0.015 Btu / h \cdot ft \cdot{ }^{\circ} F) that are 9 in. long and have a cross section of 1.5 in. \times 1.5 in. There is a 0.5-in.-thick plaster layer (k = 0.10 Btu / h \cdot ft \cdot{ }^{\circ} F) between two adjacent bricks on all four sides and on both sides of the wall. The house is maintained at 80°F and the ambient temperature outside is 30°F. Taking the heat transfer coefficients at the inner and outer surfaces of the wall to be 1.5 and 4 Btu / h \cdot ft ^{2} \cdot{ }^{\circ} F, respectively, determine the rate of heat transfer through the wall constructed of (a) solid bricks and (b) bricks with air holes.
