Question: ( 3 ) A 2 - kW resistance heater wire diameter = 4 m m , length = 1 . 2 m with thermal conductivity

(3) A 2-kW resistance heater wire diameter =4mm, length =1.2m with thermal conductivity
of k=10Wm*C is used to boil water. If the outer surface temperature of the resistance wire
is Ts=110C and the heat generation is uniform throughout the entire wire, determine the
temperature at the center of the wire T0. Hint: qgen=2000(W)r02L.,T0=Ts+qgenr024k., State
your assumptions, if any.
