In a glass plant in Cavite, a furnace has fire-brick walls made up of the following two materials in series : Non-corrosive brick as inner layer (material 1) Clay brick as outer layer (material 2) Thickness 4.5 inches 8 inches Thermal conductivity k1 k2 The temperature inside the furnace (inside wall surface of the non-corrosive brick) is found to be 1105 oF while the outside temperature (outside wall surface of clay brick) is 365 oF. This is not the desired temperature inside the furnace so engineers thought of lagging the furnace walls with another material to reduce heat loss. The additional lagging material consists of magnesia layer which is 2 inches thick and has a thermal conductivity of 0.04 Btu /h.ft.oF. During a test run on the furnace with the magnesia lagging material now, new temperature readings were recorded : Point of measurement Temperature reading Inside furnace (inside wall surface of non-corrosive brick 1355 oF Interface between…
