Answer:
The rate of heat generation in the wire per unit volume is 5.79×10^7 Btu/hrft^3
Heat flux is 9.67×10^7 Btu/hrft^2
Explanation:
Rate of heat generation = 1000 W = 1000/0.29307 = 3412.15 Btu/hr
Area (A) = πD^2/4
Diameter (D) = 0.08 inches = 0.08 in × 3.2808 ft/39.37 in = 0.0067 ft
A = 3.142×0.0067^2/4 = 3.53×10^-5 ft^2
Volume (V) = A × Length
L = 20 inches = 20 in × 3.2808 ft/39.37 in = 1.67 ft
V = 3.53×10^-5 × 1.67 = 5.8951×10^-5 ft^3
Rate of heat generation in the wire per unit volume = 3412.15 Btu/hr ÷ 5.8951×10^-5 ft^3 = 5.79×10^7 Btu/hrft^3
Heat flux = 3412.15 Btu/hr ÷ 3.53×10^-5 ft^2 = 9.67×10^7 Btu/hrft^2
