Question
1-102 A 1.4-m-long, 0.2-cm-diameter electrical wire extends
across a room that is maintained at 20°C. Heat is generated in
the wire as a result of resistance heating, and the surface tem-
perature of the wire is measured to be 240°C in steady op-
eration. Also, the voltage drop and electric current through
the wire are measured to be 110 V and 3 A, respectively. Dis-
regarding any heat transfer by radiation, determine the con-
vection heat transfer coefficient for heat transfer between the
outer surface of the wire and the air in the room.
Answer: 170.5 W/m². °C
