    This problem finds the heat rate from the lower surface of a two-dimensional rectangular plate with a known temperature distribution. The heat rate expression involves an infinite series with terms involving sinh and cosine functions. Evaluating the first five non-zero terms of the series gives a heat rate of approximately 5.611 kW/m. While a similar approach could be used to find the heat rate into the upper surface, that series does not converge due to the discontinuous temperature imposed at the upper corners.
