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.

Question

In a coal-fired power plant, a furnace wall consists of a 125-mm-wide refractory brick
and a 125-mm-wide insulating firebrick separated by an air gap. The outside wall is
covered with a 12 mm thickness of plaster. The inner surface of the wall is at 1100◦C,
and the room temperature is 25◦C. The heat-transfer coefficient from the outside wall
surface to the air in the room is 17 W/m2 K, and the resistance to heat flow of the airgap
is 0.16 K/W. The thermal conductivities of the refractor brick, the insulating firebrick, and
the plaster are 1.6, 0.3, and 0.14 W/m K, respectively. Calculate the rate of heat loss per unit area of wall surface
