Question: Problem 3 ( 5 points ) : A solid wire of diameter 2 mm and length 1 0 m is wrapped along its length with

Problem 3(5 points): A solid wire of diameter 2 mm and length 10 m is wrapped along its length with a 1-mm-thick plastic insulation cover of thermal
conductivity 0.15Wm-K. Within the wire, volumetric energy generation rate is 0.5MWm3.T=30C and h=25Wm2K.
Draw a neat schematic of the problem, showing relevant details
Determine the conduction heat transfer rate at the interface of the solid core and the insulation
Using thermal networks only, determine temperature at interface between solid core and insulation, and at end of the insulation
Sketch the temperature and heat flux profiles through the core and casing, and label nature of curves clearly
If thickness of the plastic cover is doubled, calculate temperature at interface between core and insulation
