Heat transfer rate to the stock/charge in the furnace does not depend upon the________________?

Correct answer: C. Use of waste heat recovery equipments

  • A. Emissivity of the refractory walls
  • B. Size of the furnace
  • C. Use of waste heat recovery equipments
  • D. Thickness of the stock

Explanation

Heat transfer to the stock is governed by factors such as furnace geometry, refractory emissivity and stock thickness. Waste-heat recovery improves fuel economy and reduces exhaust losses, but is not a direct factor in the stock-side heat-transfer rate.
