Which of the following variables affects the furnace capacity ?
Correct answer: B. All A., B. and C.
- A. Temperature of flue gas
- B. All A., B. and C.
- C. Thickness of heating stock
- D. Thermal conductivity of stock
Explanation
Furnace capacity depends on the available heat in the flue gas, the stock's ability to conduct heat inward, and the distance heat must travel through the stock. Increasing stock thickness generally slows heating, so temperature, conductivity and thickness all matter.
