Question: 1 4 . 2 - 1 . Temperature Response in Cooling a Wire. A small copper wire with a diameter of 0 . 7 9

14.2-1. Temperature Response in Cooling a Wire. A small copper wire with a diameter of 0.792 mm and initially at 366.5 K is suddenly immersed in a liquid held constant at 311 K. The convection coefficient h =85.2 W/m2 K. The physical properties can be assumed constant and are k =374 W/m K, cp =0.389 kJ/kg K, and =8890 kg/m3.
Determine the time in seconds for the average temperature of the wire to drop to 338.8 K (one-half the initial temperature difference).
Do the same but for h =11.36 W/m2 K.
For part (b), calculate the total amount of heat removed for a wire 1.0 m long.
