Extracted text: Question 5: Z=62 a. An iron sphere of mass (Z + 300)g is kept in a container having boiling water (100 °C). If the temperature of the sphere is 25.5°C, how much heat energy is absorbed by the iron sphere? Consider the specific heat of iron as 452J/kg. b. The wall of an industrial furnace is constructed from (Z + 3) cm thick fireclay brick having a thermal conductivity of 1.7 W/mK. Measurements made during steady-state operation reveal temperatures of 530°C and 375°C at the inner and outer surfaces, respectively. Find the rate of heat loss through a wall which is (Z + 5) cm by (Z + 3) m on a side.
