Best answer; hire a mechanical/Plumbing expert or contractor. This is a job if not tackled a by a pro, could cause your family great harm, brain damage, or death. Remember, you dealing with sealing out carbon monoxide, a oderless, tasteless gas. If not sealed out properly or if the material and sealing compounds used degenerate at anytime, the CO could easily enter your home and over time harm people and animals. If you have to ask this question, chances are you're not qualified or skilled enough to tackle this alone.
To seal a gas flue from a furnace, first ensure the flue is properly disconnected from the furnace. Use high-temperature silicone sealant or a metal flue cap to cover the opening, ensuring it is airtight to prevent gas leaks. Additionally, inspect the area for any cracks or gaps and seal them with appropriate materials, such as metal tape or a chimney cap, to ensure proper sealing and safety. Always follow local building codes and regulations for gas appliances.
If both fireplace and furnace are BOTH gas, if the flue has the correct size, AND if your building code permits, yes. If furnace and fireplace are different fuels, no. Check with your local building inspection department.
preheater is used to heat the air at Inlet of the furnace of Boiler By using Heat contents of Exhaust gases. This will minimize the fuel Consumption.
Varies from make to make, model to model. You need to check with the company that made yours.
The flue is the actual pipe or chimney where the damper is the mechanism that opens and closes the flue
No, a flue is not a virus. A flue is a duct, pipe, or chimney for conveying exhaust gases from a fireplace, furnace, boiler, or smokestack. On the other hand, a virus is a small infectious agent that can replicate only inside the living cells of an organism.
A good rule of thumb is that the exhaust flue for an oil furnace should be at least 6 inches in diameter and made of a non-combustible material, such as stainless steel or galvanized steel, to ensure safe venting of combustion gases. The flue should also have a slope of at least 1/4 inch per foot to facilitate proper drainage of condensate. Additionally, it is important to maintain the flue to prevent blockages and ensure efficient operation. Always consult local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for specific requirements.

Heat loss in a blast furnace can occur through various mechanisms, such as conduction, convection, and radiation. It is crucial to minimize these losses to ensure efficient operation of the furnace and optimize energy consumption. Various insulation materials and refractories are commonly used to reduce heat loss in blast furnaces.
