2. The vertical flat wall of the combustion chamber of a furnace is constructed with a layer of firebrick 200 mm thick, a layer of insulation 100 mm thick and a mild steel plate 10 mm thick on the outside. The inner surface of the firebrick is at a temperature of 815°C and the air temperature outside the furnace is 21 °C. To estimate the heat loss from the furnace, a hole is drilled through the plate and insulation so that the temperature at the junction of the firebrick and insulation can be determined.

Transcribed Image Text:2.
The vertical flat wall of the combustion chamber of a furnace is
constructed with a layer of firebrick 200 mm thick, a layer of insulation
100 mm thick and a mild steel plate 10 mm thick on the outside. The
inner surface of the firebrick is at a temperature of 815°C and the air
temperature outside the furnace is 21 °C. To estimate the heat loss
from the furnace, a hole is drilled through the plate and insulation so
that the temperature at the junction of the firebrick and insulation can
be determined. This is found to be 730°C.
Estimate:
(i) the rate of heat loss per m² of wall surface.
(ii)
the heat transfer coefficient from the outer surface of the steel to
the surrounding air.
The thermal conductivities of the materials used are:
Firebrick 1.0, insulating material 0.07, and steel 45W/mK.
Answer: 425 W/m² 4.2 W/m²K
