A long wire of diameter D = 2 mm is submerged in an oil bath of temperature T∞ = 23°C. The wire has an electrical resistance per unit length of Re′=0.01 Ω/m. If a current of I = 180 A flows through the wire and the convection coefficient is h = 529 W/m2 · K, what is the steady-state temperature of the wire? From the time the current is applied, how long does it take for the wire to reach a temperature that is within 2°C of the steady-state value? The properties of the wire are ρ = 2,334 kg/m3, c = 537 J/kg · K, and k = 43 W/m · K.
