Step 1
1 of 8Given values are:
In order to estimate the heater surface temperature , we can use a well-known trial and error method, in which we repeat, varied attempts which are continued until success.
The surface temperature of the horizontally oriented heater , suspended in still air, can be expressed from the rate equation for convection , as:
Here is:
is the lateral surface area of the cylinder, given by:
