A long, cylindrical, electrical heating element of diameter 10 mm, thermal conductivity 240 W/m·K, density 2700 kg/m3, and specific heat 900 J/kg·K is installed in a duct for which air moves in cross flow over the heater at a temperature and velocity of 27°C and 15 m/s, respectively. (a) Neglecting radiation, estimate the steady-state surface temperature when, per unit length of the heater, electrical energy is being dissipated at a rate of 2000 W/m. (b) If the heater is activated from an initial temperature of 27°C, estimate the time required for the surface temperature to come within 10°C of its steady-state value. Evaluate the properties of air at 450 K.
