A resistor, part of a circuit, is dissipating at 0.1 W. It is shaped like a cylinder with a radius of 1.8 mm and a length of 1 cm. If the air in the cabinet is at 308 K and the resistor has a heat transfer coefficient of h = 13 W/m2K for natural convection and hrad of 6.5 W/m2K, what is the resistor’s temperature? Assume heat is lost by only convection and radiation in a parallel circuit. Now if the power to the resistor is turned off, how long will take it to cool? The resistor has a thermal conductivity of 10 W/m.K, density of 2000 kg/m3 and specific heat of 700 J/kg.k. (no figure)

    A bare copper cable 2.5 cm in diameter is situated in still air at 15°C. A current of 800 Amps is passed along the cable. Heat is transferred from the cable to its surroundings by natural convection for which the heat transfer coefficient may be expressed as 2.95025 W/m2 K. Determine whether or not it may be assumed that the temperature across the copper cross section is uniform and what the equilibrium temperature of the cable surface will be. If...
