Q.1) Thin fin 0.002 m by 0.02 m rectangular cross section and thermal conductivity of 50 W/m.K protrude from a
wall have h=600 W/mK and Tb=170C. The length of the fin is 0.5 m. The surrounding temperature is 20C. What
is the effectiveness of the fin?
Q.2) How long must a copper fin, 0.4 cm in diameter, be if the temperature of its insulated tip exceeds the
surrounding air temperature by 20 of (Tb-T)? Tair = 20C h= 28 W/mK
