Question: Consider a 1 m long electric wire ) = ( 1 5 W m . C with a diameter of 2 0 c m in

Consider a 1m long electric wire )=(15Wm.C with a diameter of 20cm in which heat is generated uniformly at a constant rate. A current of 200amp passes through the wire, having a resistance of 0.13. The wire is insulated with two layers (1st layer magnesium with k=0.02Wm.C and 2nd layer fiberglass with k=0.06Wm.C) of each 50mm thick insulation. If the outer surface temperature of the fiberglass is 50C, do the following at steady-state conditions:
a) draw a thermal circuit of this problem statement.
b) the center temperature of the wire
q=I2Re
