The temperature at the inside surface of an oven is 460 oF.  The inside wall of the oven is made of brick and is 8 inch thick.  The thermal conductivity of the brick is 2.2 Btu/hr.ft2.(oF/ft).  The outside of the oven is covered with a 3-inch layer of asbestos as insulation, which has a thermal conductivity of 0.11 Btu/hr.ft2.(oF/ft).  If the outer surface of the insulation has a temperature of 100 oF , calculate the amount of heat lost through 2 ft2 of wall area in 3 hours.
