A closed container filled with hot coffee as shown below is in a room whose air and walls are at fixed temperature much lower than the coffee. Identify all heat transfer process that contributes to cooling of the coffee. Draw schematics, make necessary assumptions (black body, thickness, materials and convection coefficient) and find the heat flux equation and temperature equation at points of heat transfer.
