Question: In the previous problem, the electrical power required to maintain the heater at To = 25C depends on the thermal conductivity of the wall material
In the previous problem, 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 fluid.
