2. A hot surface at 120°C is cooled by attaching a 6-cm-long, 0.6-cm-diameter pin fin (k 220 W/m K, a 97.1 x 10 m2/s). The temperature of the surrounding air is 15°C, and the heat transfer coefficient on the fin surface is 30 W/m2 K. Assuming one-dimensional heat conduction along the fin, an adiabatic tip, and taking the nodal spacing to be Ax 3 cm, determine the tip temperature.
A very long cylindrical copper fin is dissipating 0.9 W of heat. It was found that the length of the fin is too difficult to accommodate due to space limitations. Therefore, the length of the fin was shortened such that new heat transfer rate is 0.81 W. However, the shortened fin tip has heat loss due to convection and the end will not be insulated. 2.1 Determine the length of the fin without doing fin tip correction (without correcting the...
Cylindrical pin fins are used to increase the heat transfer from a flat plate of 100 mm × 100 mm. Four hundred fins are added to the plate.
