A 200 ft. high by 60 ft. wide building is on fire, and one of its walls is at 1500ºF. Air at 100ºF and 40% relative humidity is near the building as shown in the figure. Estimate the net heat transfer to the air from this burning wall if the wall’s emissivity is 0.85.
As a first approximation, assume a two surface problem; the air and the burning building wall. An equivalent circuit is sketched.
