Q1) A furnace wall consists of an inside layer of silica brick 10 cm thick (k = 6.28 kJ/m
hr0C) and magnasite brick thickness 5 cm (k = 20.35 kJ/m hr0C) on the outside. The
inside surface of the silica brick wall is maintained at 750 0C while the outside surface
of magnasite is at 125 0C. What is the rate of heat loss per unit area of the wall? Also
calculate the temperature at the interface.
Q2) A hollow sphere is made up of two materials; first with k=70 W/m K is having an
I.D. of 10 cm and O.D. of 30 cm and the second with k=15 W/m K, forms the outer
layer with O.D. of 40 cm. The inside and outside temperatures are 300 0C and 30 0C
respectively. Estimate the rate of heat flow through this sphere assuming perfect
contact between two materials.
