9. A wall of cylindrical oven consists of 3 different layers of materials. The first layer composed
of 5cm thickness of insulated material with thermal conductivity is 0.08W/mK. The second layer
is made of 15cm thickness of asbestos with k =0.074 W/mK. The outer layer (third) consist of
10cm thick brick wall with k=0.72 W/mK. The inside wall temperature of oven is 250 oC. The
outer side of the oven of atmospheric air temperature is 30oC with convective heat transfer
coefficient h=40W/m2K. Determine the temperature distribution along the composite wall.
