5.3-6. Unsteady-State Conduction in a Brick Wall. A flat brick wall 1.0 ft thick is the lining on one side of a furnace. If the wall is at a uniform temperature of 100°F and one side is suddenly exposed to a gas at 1100°F, calculate the time for the furnace wall at a point 0.5 ft from the surface to reach 500°F. The rear side of the wall is insulated. The convection coefficient is 2.6 btu/h ft². °F and the physical properties of the brick are k= 0.65 btu/h ft °F and a = 0.02 ft²/h.
