    Tank energy loss to surrounding

    I am looking for a way to calculate the heat loss of a tank to ambient temperature. The tank is filled with a fluid: Density = 910 Kg/m³ Specific Heat (cp) = 1,95 kJ/kg K Ambient Temperature = 8 °C (46 °F) Temperature Hold = 50 °C (122 °F) The goal is to keep the temperature inside the tank at...
