Problem

A 2.1-m-long, 0.2-cm-diameter electrical wire extends across a room that is maintained at 20°C. Continue to post
Heat is generated in the wire as a result of resistance heating, and the surface temperature of 16 questions remaining
the wire is measured to be 180°C in steady operation. Also, the voltage drop and electric current
through the wire are measured to be 110 V and 3 A, respectively. Disregarding any heat transfer
by radiation, determine the convection heat transfer coefficient for heat transfer between the
outer surface of the wire and the air in the room.

Step 3 of 3

Let h be the heat transfer coefficient between room air and wire so that rate of heat dissipation

due to current passing through the electrical wire can be

So the convective heat transfer coefficient between electric wire and air is given by
