The top of a large industrial hot water heater has been left uninsulated. The top may be modeled as a horizontal flat plate with a diameter of 1.30 meters. The outside temperature of the top of the hot water heater is 54.0°C. The air temperature (P = 1.00 atm) and the surrounding temperature of the room are 20.0°C. Calculate the heat transfer rate from the top of this hot water heater; including the effect of radiation (assume the emissivity of the top of the hot water heater is 0.37).
