A device for performing boiling experiments consists of a copper bar (k = 400 W/m · K), which is exposed to a boil- ing liquid at one end, encapsulates an electrical heater at the other end, and is well insulated from its surroundings at all but the exposed surface. Thermocouples inserted in the bar are used to measure temperatures at distances of x1 = 10 mm and x2 = 25 mm from the surface.
Water, Tsat 105 q"s 106 W/m2. What are the corresponding values of T1 and T2 for q"s = 106 W/m2? If q"s were increased to 1.5 X 106 W/m2, could the foregoing results be extrapolated to infer the corresponding values of !l.Te, T1, and T2?
