Heat loss from a hot water tank in a house to the surrounding medium can be considered to be a steady heat transfer problem. Also, it can be considered to be two-dimensional since temperature differences (and thus heat transfer) will exist in the radial and axial directions (but there will be symmetry about the center line and no heat transfer in the azimuthal direction.)
What will be an ideal response?
