In the central part of a solar power plant there is a cylinderwith a diameter of 4 m and a length of 13 m. The cylinder issuspended on the tower where it receives the solar radiationreflected by "n" rows of mirrors located at ground level. If theoperating temperature of the cylinder surface is 625°C,calculate the heat loss when the wind is blowing and the air is at27°C. Express your result as a percentage of the total solarradiation that falls on the cylinder, if this radiation is20MW.
