A furnace must be built with an inner layer of refractory brick (conductivity 1.27 Kcal/h mºC). This layer must be coated with a layer of insulating brick (conductivity 0.134 Kcal/hm ºC) 22 cm thick, in turn covered with a 15 cm layer of building brick (conductivity 0.75 Kcal/ hm°C). The inner surface of the refractory wall will operate at 1150ºC and the outside at 65ºC. How many centimeters of refractory brick would be required for the insulation not to exceed 930ºC (safety limit of the material in question).
A radiator plate of 0.2-m (wide) x 0.4-m (height) is in a room of 22°C.
One side (the hot side facing the room) of the radiator plate is maintained
at a temperature of 80°C, the other sides are assumed to be insulated, as
shown in Figure 1. If the following assumptions can be made: 1) steady
operating conditions exist; 2) the air an ideal gas; 3) the local'
atmospheric pressure is 1.00 atm:

locations for the radiators marked A), B), C) and D), as

plate by natural convection if the plate is A) vertical and
C) horizontal with the hot surface facing down. Compare

1. In summer, the owner of a house-made only of brick walls wants to know the heating transmitting through the wall of his
house, so that he can decide if he needs to insulate for energy savings. Bricks have a conductivity of 0.8 W/m/K and are 15 cm
wide. The wall is 6 m long per 3 m high. He measures 35 degrees on the outside surface and 22 degrees on the surface of the wall
inside. Calculate the heat transferred.
