0.01 mK/W. The outer surface of the heater is exposed

to a uid with T10   C and a convection coefficient
of h 100 W/m2 K. Determine the heater power
per unit length of tube required to maintain the heater at
To 25   C.

In Problem 3.48, the electrical power required to maintain

the heater at To 25   C depends on the thermal
conductivity of the wall material k, the thermal contact
resistance Rt,c and the convection coefficient h. Compute
and plot the separate effect of changes in k
(1 k 200 W/m K), Rt,c (0 Rt,c 0.1 m K/W),
and h (10 h 1000 W/m2 K) on the total heater
power requirement, as well as the rate of heat transfer
to the inner surface of the tube and to the uid.
