A 40-cm-long, 0.4-cm-diameter electric resistance wire submerged in water is used to determine the convection heat transfer

Question:

A 40-cm-long, 0.4-cm-diameter electric resistance wire submerged in water is used to determine the convection heat transfer coefficient in water during boiling at 1 atm pressure. The surface temperature of the wire is measured to be 114°C when a wattmeter indicates the electric power consumption to be 7.6 kW. The heat transfer coefficient is
(a) 108 kW/m· K

(b) 13.3 kW/m· K

(c) 68.1 kW/m· K

(d) 0.76 kW/m· K

(e) 256 kW/m· K
