Problem:
A furnace wall is made of two layers of refractory materials, each 9 in thick. The furnace
temperature on the furnace side of layer A and the outer side of layer B are 2000 ⁰F
and 200 ⁰F. For layer A, k = 2.44 – 0.0006T while for layer b, k = 0.06 + 0.0009T where
BTU . ft
T in ⁰F and k is in .
HR . ft 2 ℉
BTU
Determine: (a) the heat flow through the wall in ;
HR . ft 2
BTU
(b) the heat flow if A and B are interchanged in .
HR . ft 2
