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 la). The brick has a thermal conductivity of 1.2 W/m·K 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?
