a 1 a) The hot combustion gases of a furnace are separated from the ambient air and its surroundings, which are at 25°C, by a brick wall 0.15 m thick (Figure 1a). The brick has a thermal conductivity of 1.2 W/mK and a surface emissivity of 0.8. Under steady-state conditions an outer surface temperature of 100°C is measured. Free convection heat transfer to the air adjoining the surface is characterized by a convection coefficient of h 20 W/m².K. What is the brick inner surface temperature? (13 marks) b) Consider steady-state conditions for one-dimensional conduction in a plane wall having a thermal conductivity k = 50 W/mk and a thickness L = 0.25 m, with no internal heat generation. Determine i) the heat flux and the unknown quantity for each case; and ii) sketch the temperature distribution, indicating the direction of the heat flux.
