Module 4: Activity No. 3: BTU - FT HR - FT - BTU HR. FT BTU HR - FT

The document is a heat transfer problem involving a furnace wall made of two refractory material layers. It provides the temperatures, thicknesses, and thermal conductivity equations for each layer. The problem asks to: 1) Calculate the heat flow through the wall and 2) Recalculate the heat flow if the layers are switched. The solution shows setting up heat transfer equations for each layer and solving simultaneously to find the temperature and heat flow. The heat flows are determined to be 1197.79 BTU/hr-ft2 and 1991.7 BTU/hr-ft2 for cases a and b respectively.
