Chapter 6-Fin Problem: Exercise 6.

1
Aluminum fins of a rectangular profile, shown in Figure 6.2, are used to remove heat
from a surface whose temperature is 100 C. The temperature of the ambient air is
20C. The thermal conductivity of the aluminum is 168W/ mC. The natural convective
heat transfer coefficient associated with the surrounding air is 30W/ m
2
C. The fins are
80mmlong, 5mmwide, and 1mmthick. Determine the temperature distribution along
the fin using 4 elements..
