you are assigned by your food engineering professor to assist a food manufacturing company as part of your task. On your first day of report, the owner wants to know if their furnace is still in condition, in which the heat loss per square meter should be at least 1,000 W/m2. The details of the furnace are as follows. The furnace wall is 1m by 1m. It is made up of 3 layers, in which the inner wall is made up of fire brick, followed an insulating brick and finally, red brick for the outer layer. You checked the inside surface temperature and got a temperature of 870oC which is 830oC hotter than the outer surface. Other data are provided from the furnace manual and specs. Co-efficient of thermal conduciveness and thickness of the layers are as follows: 1.0 W/m-K, thickness: 22 cm 0.12 W/m-K, thickness: 7.5 cm 0.75 W/m-K, thickness: 11 cm
