onductivity kwire =0.002 W/cmK and carries a steady electrical current. The resulting resistive heating causes heat to be generated within the wire (assume uniformly) at a rate of 2 W/cm3. The wire is insulated with a different material with no internal heat generation and that has a thermal conductivity of 0.0005 W/cmK. The insulation is exposed to air with an ambient temperature of 25C moving in a manner that yields a convective heat transfer coefficient of 0.0027 W/cm2K.
