A particular furnace is shaped like a section of a cone. The top surface of the furnace is uniformly heated by a resistance heater. During operation, the top surface is measured to be 800 K and the power supplied to the resistance heater is 1750 W/m². The sidewall of the furnace is perfectly insulated with & = 0.2. If the emissivity of the top and bottom surfaces are ε = 0.5 and ε = 0.7, respectively, determine the temperatures of the sidewall and the bottom surface of the furnace.
