High thermal conductivity of a refractory material is not important, when it is to be used in the______________________?

Correct answer: C. Blast furnace

  • A. Coke oven regenerators
  • B. Muffle furnace
  • C. Blast furnace
  • D. Recuperators

Explanation

High thermal conductivity is desirable in regenerators and recuperators, where heat must be transferred rapidly. A blast-furnace lining mainly needs to withstand chemical, thermal, and mechanical attack, so high conductivity is not its key requirement.
