1. Estimate the current at which a 1-mm-diameter nickel wire will burn out when submerged in water at atmospheric pressure. The electrical resistance of the wire is 0.129 D/m.
2. Estimate the power (W/m2) required to maintain a brass plate at !l.Te = 15°C while boiling saturated water at 1 atm. What is the power requirement if the water is pressurized to 10 atm? At what fraction of the critical heat flux is the plate operating?
