The heating element for a residential water heater is a
horizontal cylindrical rod of rusted steel. Overnight, when no one
is using any hot water, the water tank is full and stationary. What
is the convection heat transfer coefficient of the water over the
heating element? Heating element dimensions: diameter = 0.1-cm,
length = 45-cm, surface temperature - 50 deg C. Water dimensions:
volume - 50 gallons, temperature - 0 deg C. Recall: v =
μ/ρ
