A furnace wall is to consist in series of 7 in of kaolin firebrick, 6 in of kaolin insulating brick, and sufficient fireclay brick to reduce the heat loss to 100 Btu/ hr ft2 when the face temperatures are 1500 and 100°F, respectively. a) Show the figure of the system b) What thickness of fireclay brick should be used? c) If an effective air gap of 1/8 in can be incorporated between the fireclay and insulating brick when erecting the wall without impairing its structural support, what thickness of insulating brick will be required?

Question

A furnace wall is to consist in series of 7 in of kaolin firebrick, 6 in of kaolin insulating brick, and sufficient
fireclay brick to reduce the heat loss to 100 Btu/ hr ft2 when the face temperatures are 1500 and 100°F,
respectively.
a) Show the figure of the system
b) What thickness of fireclay brick should be used?
c) If an effective air gap of 1/8 in can be incorporated between the fireclay and insulating brick when
erecting the wall without impairing its structural support, what thickness of insulating brick will be
required?
