A horizontal electrical cable of 25-mm diameter has a heat


1. A horizontal electrical cable of 25-mm diameter has a heat dissipation rate of 30 W/m. If the ambient air temperature is 27°C, estimate the surface temperature of the cable.

2. An electric immersion heater, 10 mm in diameter and 300 mm long, is rated at 550 W. If the heater is horizontally positioned in a large tank of water at 20°C, estimate its surface temperature. Estimate the surface temperature if the heater is accidentally operated in air at 20°C.
