Answer

d) $1.5\frac{W}{m^2*^{\circ}C}$

Work Step by Step

First we calculate the area of the wall: $A=8m*4m=32m^2$ Knowing that the heat transfer in this case is by conduction: $Q_{cond}=\frac{kA\Delta T}{L}$ $k=\frac{Q_{cond}L}{A\Delta T}=\frac{2400W*0.2m}{32m^2*(15^{\circ}C-5^{\circ}C)}=1.5\frac{W}{m^2*^{\circ}C}$
