‘November 2008
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 25 em
thick of thermal conductivity 0.4 W/mK, a layer of ceramic blanket insulation of
thermal conduct
ity 0.2 W/mK and 8 em thick, and a steel protective layer of
ity 5S WimK and 2 mm thick. The
thermal conducti
side temperature of the fire
brick layer was measured at 600° C and the temperature of the outside of the
insulation 60° C. Also find the interface temperature of layers.
