Created using ANSYS AIM 18.2
For this demonstration we are asked to determine the centerline temperature Tc and surface temperature of a bare steel wire carrying a current I and having a resistance R. The surface convection coefficient between the wire and the ambient air (at temperature Ta) is h.
Given values:
k=13 BTU/hr*ft*F
h=5 BTU/hr*ft2*F
R=0.0001 /ft
Ta=70 F
I=1000 A
