( b ) A furnace wall comprises of three layers: 1 3 . 5 cm thick inside layer of fire brick, 7 . 5 cm

(b) A furnace wall comprises of three layers: 13.5 cm thick inside layer of fire brick, 7.5 cm
thick middle layer of insulating brick and 11.5 cm thick outside layer of red brick. The furnace
operates at 860C and it is anticipated that the outside of this composite wall can be maintained
at 30C by the circulation of air. The area of the furnace wall is 10m2. Assuming close bonding
of layers at their interfaces, find the rate of heat loss from the furnace and the wall interface
temperatures.
[Note: Thermal conductivities of fire, insulating and red bricks are 1.2WmC,0.14WmC
and 0.85WmC respectively.]
