through the vertical walls of a boiler furnace of size 4 m by 3 m by 3 m high. The walls are constructed from an inner fire brick wall of 20 cm thick with thermal conductivity 0.4 W/mK, a layer of ceramic blanket insulation with thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/mK and 10 cm thick, and a steel protective layer with thermal conductivity of 55 W/mK and 3 mm thick. The inside temperature of the fire brick layer was measured at 600°C and the temperature of the outside of the insulation was 60°C. Also find the interface temperature of layers.

Question
  1. Calculate the rate of heat loss through the vertical walls of a boiler furnace of size 4 m by 3 m by 3 m high. The walls are constructed from an inner fire brick wall of 20 cm thick with thermal conductivity 0.4 W/mK, a layer of ceramic blanket insulation with thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/mK and 10 cm thick, and a steel protective layer with thermal conductivity of 55 W/mK and 3 mm thick. The inside temperature of the fire brick layer was measured at 600°C and the temperature of the outside of the insulation was 60°C. Also find the interface temperature of layers.
