A radiator in a domestic heating system operates at a surface temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. Calculate the heat flux at the surface of the radiator if it behaves as a black body.
The annealing furnace for continuous bar stock is open at the ends and has interior dimensions of 0.6 m x 0.6 m x 1.5 m long with a wall 0.3 m thick all around. Calculate the shape factor for the furnace.
A furnace is made of a white brick wall with a thickness of 0.6 m and a thermal conductivity of 0.8 W/m⋅K. To achieve the same heat loss and temperature drop, the brick wall can be replaced by a layer of diatomite metal with a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W/m⋅K. What will be the replacement thickness?
