Heat is produced in a long resistance wire q.u= 1.5 W/cm3. The radius of the wire is given as r1=0.3 cm and the thermal conductivity coefficient as ksteel=18 W/m.K. In addition, the wire is covered with a 0.4 cm thick plastic layer with a thermal conductivity coefficient of kplastic = 1.8 W/m.K. The outer surface of the plastic layer loses heat with an average heat transfer coefficient of h=14/W/m2K and by convection to the ambient air at T∞ =250 C. Considering the interface temperature as T1 and accepting the heat transfer as one-dimensional;
