An electrical current of 700 A flows through a stainless-steel cable having a diameter of 5 mm and an electrical resistance of 6 x 10^-4 Ω/m (i. e., per meter of cable length). The cable is in an environment having a temperature of 30°C, and the total coefficient associated with convection and radiation between the cable and the environment is approximately 25 W/m^2K.
(a) If the cable is bare, what is its surface temperature?(b) If a very thin coating of electrical insulation is applied to the cable, with a contact resistance of 0.02 m^2 K/W, what are the insulation and cable surface temperatures?(c) There is some concern about the ability of the insulation to withstand elevated temperatures. What thickness of this insulation (k 0.5 W/m K) will yield the lowest value of the maximum insulation temperature?

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
