A toaster, sketched in the figure, has two heating elements on either side of a slice of bread when toasting the bread. The element temperature is 450ºC and its emissivity is 0.85 when bread is toasted. If the bread is at 100ºC, the bread’s emissivity is 0.65, and the surroundings reradiate heat, determine the net heat transfer to the bread.
