Review evaporation rate #1

[ ] For low $U_L, U_V$ and large $\eta_w$, BOG rates may appear decreasing at the beginning of the evaporation.
[x] Although $\dot{Q}_b$ is set, it is not considered for BOG or evaporation rate calculations.

The problem was with the change of signature of

set_HeatTransProps(self, U_L, U_V, T_air, Q_b_fixed=None, Q_roof=0, eta_w = 0):

In an initial version, Q_roof was defined before Q_b_fixed. Changing the LNG evaporation notebook for setting Q_b to large_tank.set_HeatTransProps(U_L, U_V, T_air, Q_b_fixed = Q_b, Q_roof = 0, eta_w = 0.90) resolved the issue and produced BOG rates aligned with Huerta and Vesovic (2019)
