An electrical heating rod, 1.5 cm in diameter and 25.0 cm in length, is rated at 1.5 kW. It is immersed horizontally in a vessel filled with water at 101.3 kPa. The heat transfer coefficient on the heater surface can be expressed in W/m2·K as h - 5.56(Ts - Tsat)3. where Ts is the heater surface temperature and Tsat is the boiling temperature. Calculate the heater surface temperature and the rate of steam generation after the water starts boiling.
