A 3-mm-diameter and 12-m-long electric wire is tightly wrapped with a 1.5-mm-thick plastic cover whose thermal conductivity and emissivity are k 5 0.20 W/m·K and « 5 0.9. Electrical measurements indicate that a current of 10 A passes through the wire and there is a voltage drop of 7 V along the wire. If the insulated wire is exposed to calm atmospheric air at T` 5 30°C, determine the temperature at the interface of the wire and the plastic cover in steady operation. Take the surrounding surfaces to be at about the same temperature as the air. Evaluate air properties at a film temperature of 40°C and 1 atm pressure. Is this a good assumption?

An electric wire having a diameter of 2.3 mm and covered with a
plastic
insulation of thickness 0.63 mm is exposed to air at 336 K and h=
32W/m2 K. It
is assumed that the wire surface temperature is constant at 415 K
and is not
affected by the covering. Calculate the value of the critical
radius. Calculate the
heat loss per m of wire length with no insulation and heat loss
with insulation
being present.

At 130°C, a bronze hoop 20 mm thick whose inside diameter is
600 mm just fits snugly over a steel hoop 15 mm thick. Both hoops
are 100 mm wide. Compute the contact pressure between the hoops
when the temperature drops to 20°C. Neglect the possibility that
the inner ring may buckle. For steel, E = 200 GPa and α =
11.7μm/(m.°C). For bronze, E = 83 GPa α = 19 μm/(m.°C)
