//Since the wire is very thin, conduction along it can be neglected; also, the temperature gradient in the wire at any cross section can be disregarded.

//At freestream temperature, for air:

//Thermal conductivity in W/mC
k = 0.0251;
//Kinematic viscosity in m2/s
nu = 0.0000157;

//Reynolds number at velocity = 2m/s
Rey = (2*D)/nu;
if Re<40 then
  //Using the correlation equa-tion from Eq. (7.3) and Table 7.1
  //Average convection heat transfer coefficient as a function of velocity
  //is
  //hc=799U^0.4 W/m2C

  //At this point, it is necessary to estimate the heat transfer coefficient for radiant heat flow.
  //According to Eq. (1.21), we have approximately
  //hr=sigma*epsilon*((Ts+Tinfinity)^3)/4

  //The emissivity of polished platinum from Appendix 2, Table 7 is about 0.05, so hr is about 0.05 W/m2C.

  //The rate at which heat is transferred from the wire is therefore
  //0.0790U^4 W.

  //The electrical resistance of the wire in ohm is
  R = ((Re*L)*4)/(((100*%pi)*D)*D);
