A liquid is boiled using the front face of a flat electric heater plate. The boiling temperature of the liquid is 212°F. The rear face of the heater is insulated. The internal energy generated electrically may be assumed to be uniform and is applied as internal heat generation.
Find the maximum temperature and maximum total heat flux.
