A very long rectangular fin is attached to a flat surface such that the temperature at the end of the fin is essentially that of the surrounding air, i. e. 20C. Its width is 5 cm; thickness is 1 mm; thermal conductivity is 200 W/m. K; and base temperature is 40C. The heat transfer coefficient is 22 W/m2 .K. Estimate the temperature at a distance of 5 cm from the base and the rate of heat loss from the entire fin.

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

x = 5 cm = 0.05 m, width (w) = 5 cm = 0.05 m, thickness (t) = 1 mm = 0.001 m, k = thermal conductivity = 200 W/mK, h = heat transfer coefficient = 22 W/m².K, Tb = base temperature = 40°C, T∞ = 20°C

how is this a question? in order for me to answer it i have to understand the question

explanation:

the equation above shows how temperature f, measured in degrees fahrenheit, relates to a temperature c, measured in degrees celsius. based on the equation, which of the following must be true?

a temperature increase of 1 degree fahrenheit is equivalent to a temperature increase of

5

9

degree celsius.

a temperature increase of 1 degree celsius is equivalent to a temperature increase of 1.8 degrees fahrenheit.

a temperature increase of

5

9

degree fahrenheit is equivalent to a temperature increase of 1 degree celsius.

a) i only

b) ii only

c) iii only

d) i and ii only
