Question:
A 12-ft-long, 1.5-kW electrical resistance wire is made of 0.1-in-diameter stainless steel (k = 8.7 Btu/h. ft. °F). The resistance wire operates in an environment at 85°F. Determine the surface temperature of the wire if it is cooled by a fan blowing air at a velocity of 20 ft/s. For evaluations of the air properties, the film temperature has to be found iteratively. As an initial guess, assume the film temperature to be 200°F.
