In a furnace the heat loss through the 150 mm thick refractory wall lining is estimated to be 50 W/m2 . If the average thermal conductivity of the refractory material is 0.05 W/mK, the temperature drop across the wall will be : (a) 140°C (b) 150°C (c) 160°C (d) 170°C

Answer»

(b) 150°C 

Data given :

\(\cfrac QA\) = 50 W/m2

K = 0.05 W/mK 

t = 150 mm = 0.15 m

Q = \(\cfrac{KA\Delta \theta}t\)

or, \(\cfrac QA\) = \(\cfrac{K\Delta \theta}t\)

50 = \(\cfrac{0.05\times\Delta\theta}{0.15}\)

\(\Delta\theta\) = 150°
