Question 1

(24)

Testing of manufactured refractory bricks is very important to determine both


physical and chemical properties exhibited by the products. This information
helps to predict the performance of the material during service.

Question 2

(10)

Calculate the interface temperatures between the bricks of a multi-layer refractory


lining design with one Silica brick at the hot face and two different insulated bricks as
illustrated in the figure below.

Formulas
A= r 2
V = Ax h
BD = m/V
CCS = L/A
%LC = ((Hf Hi)/Hi) x 100
%VC = ((Vf Vi)/Vi) x 100
