A spherical furnace has an inside diameter of 6 ft and an outside diameter of 8 ft. The furnace shell is made of two different materials, each 6 inches thick. The inner and outer section of the shell has a thermal conductivity of 0.10 (BTU/hr-ft?)(°F/ft) and 0.2 (BTU/hr-ft²)(°F/ft), respectively. The inside temperature is 2,500°F, while the outside surface is at 150°F. Calculate the heat loss for 24 hours of operation. Express your answer in scientific notation.

Question
A spherical furnace has an inside diameter of 6 ft and an
outside diameter of 8 ft. The furnace shell is made of two
different materials, each 6 inches thick. The inner and outer
section of the shell has a thermal conductivity of 0.10
(BTU/hr-ft?)(°F/ft) and 0.2 (BTU/hr-ft?) (°F/ft), respectively.
The inside temperature is 2,500°F, while the outside surface
is at 150°F. Calculate the heat loss for 24 hours of
operation. Express your answer in scientific notation.
