Discussion:
(1) As expected, the internal power dissipation increases with increasing emissivity and surface temperature. Because the
radiation rate equation is non-linear with respect to temperature, the power dissipation will likewise not be linear with surface

Discussion Heat loss by convection is much more dominant than heat loss by radiation. If we had not accounted for the heat
loss by radiation in our calculation, the inside plate temperature would be 252.7ºC, which is only 0.3ºC less than the actual
value. In this case we could have neglected the heat loss by radiation.
