Lesson 1 Exercises Problem 2

The document summarizes a physics problem calculating the temperature at the boundary between two layers of a plane wall. The wall consists of an 8 inch layer of refractory brick followed by a 2 inch insulating layer. The inside surface of the brick is at 2000°F and the outside of the insulation is at 1000°F. The solution shows setting up and solving heat transfer equations to calculate that the temperature at the brick-insulation boundary is 1369.7°F.

Problem:
𝐵𝑇𝑈 𝑖𝑛
A plane wall is composed of 8 in layer of refractory brick, k= 0.75 𝐻𝑅 𝑓𝑡 2 deg 𝐹 and 2 in layer
𝐵𝑇𝑈 𝑖𝑛
of insulating material with k varying linearly as k= 0.02 + 0.0001T and T in 0F.
𝐻𝑅 𝑓𝑡 2 deg 𝐹
The inside surface of the brick is 2000 0F and the outside surface of insulating material is
1000F. Calculate the temp at the boundary of the brick and insulation. Ans. 1369.70F
