Jim is quite correct about the PVC pipe limiting the heat transfer. I
would suggest using power chip resistors. Digi-Key carries Bournes chip
resistors rated at 50 ohms and 100 watts for less than $8 each.

Amen on the thick-film chip resistors. I built a 200W dummy load using
two 100 ohm 100W devices in parallel.
