A cylindrical insulator contains a single, very thin electricalresistor wire that runs along a line halfway between the center andthe outside. The wire liberates 480 W/m. The thermal conductivityof the insulation is 3 W/m*k, and the outside perimeter is held at20 C. Develop a flux plot for the cross section, consideringcarefully how the field should look in the neighborhood of thepoint through which the wire passes. Evaluate the temperature atthe center of the insulation.
