(choose chapter or problem)

A storage tank consists of a cylindrical section that has a length and inner diameter of L 2 m and Di 1 m, respectively, and two hemispherical end sections. The tank is constructed from 20-mm-thick glass (Pyrex) and is exposed to ambient air for which the temperature is 300 K and the convection coefficient is 10 W/m2 K. The tank is used to store heated oil, which maintains the inner surface at a temperature of 400 K. Determine the electrical power that must be supplied to a heater submerged in the oil if the prescribed conditions are to be maintained. Radiation effects may be neglected, and the Pyrex may be assumed to have a thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/m K
