gas filled tube has 2 mm inside diameter and 25 cm length. The gas is heated by an electrical wire of diameter 50 microns (o.05 mm) located along the axis of the tube. Current and voltage drop across the heating element are 0.5A and 4 volts, respectively. If the measured wire and inside tube wall temps are 175C and 150C respectively, find the thermal conductivity of the gas filling the tube
