Question:

A 1.4-m-long, 0.2-cm-diameter electrical wire extends across a room that is maintained at 20° C. Heat is generated in the wire as a result of resistance heating, and the surface temperature of the wire is measured to be 240° C in steady operation. Also, the voltage drop and electric current through the wire are measured to be 110 V and 3 A, respectively. Disregarding any heat transfer by radiation, determine the convection heat transfer coefficient for heat transfer between the outer surface of the wire and the air in the room.
