Question: 1 1 A thin electrical heater is wrapped around the outer surface of a long cylindrical tube whose inner surface is maintained at a temperature

11 A thin electrical heater is wrapped around the outer
surface of a long cylindrical tube whose inner surface
is maintained at a temperature of 6C. The tube wall
has inner and outer radii of 24 and 78 mm , respec-
tively, and a thermal conductivity of 10Wm*K. The
thermal contact resistance between the heater and the
outer surface of the tube (per unit length of the tube)
is Rt,c'=0.01m*KW. The outer surface of the heater
is exposed to a fluid with T=-10C and a convection
coefficient of h=100Wm2*K. Determine the heater
power per unit length of tube required to maintain the
heater at Tn=25C.
