Determine the temperatures of surfaces 1 through 4 of the furnace cavity of Example 13.3 if the entire furnace experiences a uniform heat flux corresponding to a total power of 1522 W.

Example 13.3

A furnace cavity, which is in the form of a cylinder of 50-mm diameter and 150-mm length, is open at one end to large surroundings that are at 27°C. The bottom of the cavity is heated independently, as are three annular sections that comprise the sides of the cavity. All interior surfaces of the cavity may be approximated as blackbodies and are maintained at 1650°C. What is the required electrical power input to the bottom surface of the cavity? What is the electrical power to the top, middle, and bottom sections of the cavity sides? The backs of the electrically heated surfaces are well insulated.
