A Bunsen burner is used to heat a block of steel. The surfaces of the steel may be taken as 50ºC except on the bottom, where the burner is heating the block. Figure 2-64 shows the overall configuration of the heating process. Using graphical techniques, estimate the temperature profile through the block and the heat transfer through the block.
