The wall of a furnace consists of 200 mm thick refractory brick (k = 3 Btu / hr-ft2-0F), 100 mm thick bricks (k = 0.050 Btu / hr-ft2-0F) and 6 mm thick steel. The temperature on the side of the refractory brick layer of the furnace is 1150 C, and the temperature on the outer steel surface is 30C. There is a heat loss of 300 W / square meter at the wall of the furnace. It is difficult to prevent the thin air additions between the brick layers and the brick layer and the steel wall. How many mm of brick layers is the total thickness of these air layers equivalent?
