A straight fin fabricated from 2024 Aluminum alloy (k=185 W/mK) has a base thickness of t=3 mm and a length of L=15 mm. Its base temperature is Tb=100oC, and it is exposed to a fluid for which T[infinity] =20oC and h=50 W/m2K. For the foregoing conditions and a fin of unit width, compare the fin heat rate, efficiency, and volume for rectangular, triangular, and parabolic profiles.

8.29 two streams containing pyridine and acetic acid at 25°c are mixed and fed into a heat exchanger. due to the heat-of-mixing effect, it is desired to reduce the temperature after mixing to 25°c using a stream of chilled ethylene glycol as indicated in the diagram. calculate the mass flow rate of ethylene glycol needed. the heat capacity of ethylene glycol at these conditions is approximately 2.8 kj/(kg k), and the enthalpy change of mixing (δmixh) is given below.
