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

This is a very very difficult one for me, let me get back to you with the proper answer.
Answer:
Both of them are wrong
Explanation:
The two technicians have given the wrong information about the wires.
This is because firstly, a higher rating of AWG means it is smaller in diameter. Thus, the diameter of a 18 AWG wire is smaller than that of a 12 AWG wire and that makes the assertion of the technician wrong.
Also, the higher the resistance, the smaller the cross sectional area meaning the smaller the diameter. A wire with bigger cross sectional area will have a smaller resistance
So this practically makes the second technician wrong too
