Warm air flows through a rectangular, uninsulated heating duct in your cold attic during the winter. The air has a mass flow rate of 0.47 kg/sec, and the heating duct has dimensions of 20.0cm by 28.0cm with a length of L = 9.60m. The inlet temperature of the air is 42.0°C, at a pressure of 1.00 atm. Your cold attic keeps the surface temperature of the duct at a temperature of 8.0°C. Find the heat transfer rate.
