Ceramic coating material for furnace refractory, which increases its emissivity and thus the radiation heat transfer rate in the furnace, comprises of_________________?

Correct answer: C. Zircon powder

  • A. Graphite powder
  • B. Thoria
  • C. Zircon powder
  • D. Beryllium

Explanation

Zircon-based ceramic coatings provide a high-emissivity refractory surface, increasing radiative heat transfer to the charge. Graphite can be emissive but is not the standard ceramic coating identified in this furnace application.
