In a large chemical factory, hot gases at 2273 K are cooled by a liquid at 373 K with gas side and liquid side convection heat transfer coefficients of 50 and 1000 W/(m2 K), respectively. The wall that separates the gas and liquid streams is composed of 2-cm thick slab of stainless steel on the liquid side. There is a contact resistance between the oxide layer and the steel of 0.05 m2.K/W. Determine the rate of heat loss from hot gases through the composite wall to the liquid.
