11) A furnace wall is made up of three layers of thickness 25 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm with thermal conductivities of 1.65 k and 9.2 W/mK respectively. The inside is exposed to gass at 1250oC with a convective coefficient of 25 W/m2K and the inside surface is at 1100oC, the outside surface is exposed to air at 25oC with convective coefficient of 12 W/m2K. Determine i) the unknown thermal conductivity. ii) The overall heat transfer coefficient. iii) All the surface temperature.
