Heat is generated in a 1.4 m long and 0.2 cm diameter electrical resistance wire placed in the middle of a room kept at 20 degrees. Under continuous conditions, the surface temperature of the wire was measured as 180 ° C, the voltage drop on the wire as 110 V and the electric current as 3 A. Regardless of radiative heat transfer, Find the heat transfer coefficient for the heat transfer between the surface of the wire shown in the figure and the room air.
