Heh, don't try to obfuscate the facts by spewing a bunch of calcs as
usual, trying to cover up...

It's 300-year-old physics :-) What's the answer to this simple problem?Still no clue? Rewrite the steel conductivity as 50 Btu-ft/h-ft^2-F...

Screw you college boy. You claimed making heat exchangers thinner in
high efficiency furnaces wasn't a significant factor in improving heat
transfer. Actually, it's inversely proportional, per the equation
backed by reference I provided you. Yet you go on spewing, like some
kind of self proclaimed energy expert, chocked full of formulas and
calculations, when you don't even understand the most basic concepts.
