A 2-m-long, 4-cm-diameter electrical wire extends across a room at 20°C, as
Shown in Fig. below. Heat is generated in the wire due to resistance heating, and the
surface temperature of the wire is measured to be 252°C in steady operation. Also,
the voltage drop and electric current through the wire are measured to be 80 V and
2 A, respectively. Heat loss transfer by radiation was 40 W from the surface of the
wire. Heat transfer coefficient for heat
