Question: A heating element at ( 4 0 0 ^ { circ } mathrm { C } ) is subjected to average

A heating element at \(400^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) is subjected to average convection heat transfer coefficient of \(25\frac{\mathrm{~W}}{\mathrm{~m}}\) when the surrounding air at \(25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The heating element is made from iron and has a cylindrical geometry with 2.5 mm in diameter and 20 mm in length.
(a) Determine the thermal resistance and overall heat transfer coefficient for the heat transfer system if the heating element is in thermodynamic equilibrium
(b) Determine the power required to maintain the heating element at \(400^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
(c) Provide three engineering assumptions and engineering model for solving (a) and (b)
A heating element at \ ( 4 0 0 ^ { \ circ } \
