(3) Determine the permissible value of electrical current flowing copper wire of d=2 mm diameter, covered with rubber insulation with a thickness of 8=1 mm, if it is known that the temperature of the insulation can not be larger than 333 K. The calculations assume: electrical resistance of copper wire R=5-103 Q/m, conductivity of the rubber 2=0,15 W/(m-K), of surroundings heat transfer coefficient a,=8 W/(m²-K), at an ambient temperature of air t,=20°C.

diameter, covered with rubber insulation with a thickness of 8=1 mm, if it is known that
the temperature of the insulation can not be larger than 333 K. The calculations
assume: electrical resistance of copper wire R=5-103 Q/m, conductivity of the rubber
1=0,15 W/(m-K), of surroundings heat transfer coefficient a=8 W/(m²-K), at
an ambient temperature of air t,=20°C.
