Determine the thermal conductivity of the styrofoam

Reference no: EM13339852

A Styrofoam box has a surface area of 0.85 m2 and a wall thickness of 2.0 cm. The temperature of the inner surface is 5.0°C, and the outside temperature is 25°C. If it takes 8.3 h for 5.0 kg of ice to melt in the container, determine the thermal conductivity of the Styrofoam.
