    The document provides guidance for a pre-lab assignment for an experiment on heat transfer via fins. It contains 4 questions asking about why combustion engines need fins, how fins increase heat transfer in Fourier's heat equation, drawing isotherms to represent assumed and actual fin base conditions, and describing the tip conditions for short, medium, and long fins as outlined in the lab manual and textbook. Reading the lab manual beforehand will allow students to correctly answer the pre-lab questions and smoothly conduct the experiment.

    Pre-Lab - Experiment 3

    It is suggested that you read the Lab Manual for Experiment 3 before you
    complete this Pre-Lab. Reading the lab manual will allow you to answer the
    following questions correctly and smoothly run through the Experiment
    procedures when you come in to class.
    [1]
    Why does a combustion engine need fins?

    [2]
    Observe Fouriers heat equation: q = kA(T/x). What aspect of this
    equation allows for fins to increase heat transfer? Explain.

    One assumption made in this experiment is that the base temperature
    (at x=0) is the same as the wall temperature of the main structure. Draw
    isotherms on the pictures below of the assumed and actual fin base
    conditions.
    Tb=100

    T=0
    h=constant

    Tb=100

    T=0
    h=variable

    [4]
    The three fin sizes below will be examined in this experiment.
    Describe the tip condition for each of these sizes as described in the lab
    manual and in Table 3.4 of your Heat and Mass Transfer textbook.
    Short Fin:
