2. The contents of a crystallization tank are kept at 5.0 °C (you may assume that the inside surface of the tank is also 5.0 °C). The tank is rectangular

in shape with sides (length and width) of 4.5 meters and a height of 8.2 meters and is made of AISI 316 stainless steel which has a thickness of 1.2 cm. The top and bottom of the tank (both square shapes) are fully insulated so that no heat enters or leaves the tank through those surfaces. A. If the outside surface of the tank reaches 44 °C, what is the total rate of heat transfer into the tank? B. What is the heat flux, a", into the tank? C.
