Conduction and Convection

When energy travels from one object to another it is said to have undergone heat transfer. Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of thermal energy or internal energy from one thing to another, like e.g., when a vessel with water, kept on top of a burner, heats up because of the flame underneath it.

It is designed in such a way that the internal temperature of a commercial heat treatment furnace can reach up to 165 oC. All surfaces of the furnace consist of firebrick (10 cm), insulation material and sheet metal (3mm) from the inside out. Given that the outdoor temperature is 22 oC, the outer sheet will be allowed to go up to 35 oC, which is a temperature that will not be disturbed by hand contact. In this case, determine the insulation material thickness to be used. Insulation material thermal conductivity coefficient is 0.066 insulation W / m oC, 60 W / m oC for sheet metal and 115 W / m oC for firebrick. Indoor heat transfer coefficient will be accepted as 25 W / m2 oC and 12 W / m2 oC for outdoor environment.
